Once I won the 12 1/2 division at the Herreshoff rendezvous… that was pretty fun actually, although I fell asleep before the awards ceremony. (via H-Class Nationals 2011 | Northwest Twenty)

I went to see them race in Newport, and it was absolutely mind blowing.

Newport’s full of big boats, but these were at least twice the size of anything else in the Harbor, and you could see them racing from miles away. Like, I could sit at Brenton Point Park and see them racing wayyy off Jamestown. And their masts were so high that I could bike like half a mile inland and still watch them coast into the harbor.

It was practically magical.

This is lovely and beautifully composed. It reminds me of the first week of summer when I got to go down to Narragansett and saw Puma trialing mar mostro out past Beavertail and Brenton Reef.

Some pretty intense 15 footer racing. I like the color scheme and the Quantums; however, I think that name is a little bit TERRIBLE.(via Herreshoff Gallery Viewer)
