We had 18 boats registered for the 2025 New England Districts at Duxbury Yacht Club. With a srong Northeast wind, 62 degrees and some rain off and on, PRO Jim Logue held 3 great races in 12-16 MPH wind. Then it built a bit and for everyone;s safety, we came in. Thanks so much to John Clark and Duxbury Yacht Club for hosting. So glad to be back there after several years! Full results are at https://fssa.com/content/2025-new-england-districts-duxbury-ma-0

New England District winners Peter and James McAvoy! Thanks to Jack McGowan and Stone Horse Yacht Club for hosting. We had 5 awesome races in 15-17 MPH North Winds for the first few races then laying down to about 12.

Massabesic Yacht Club in Manchester, NH, hosted the 2021 New England Districts on 8/28/2021. It was a bit cloudy with highs in the 70's so we dresed in layers to be ready if it warmed up. It warmed up a little but the clouds stayed. With mostly easetrly winds 5-10 MPH, with Larry Christian as PRO, we had 5 great races, and could have done more with the conditions we had! There were 11 boats, 4 from Massapoag and 7 from Massabesic. In the end, the Massapoag teams took the top 4... Read More
