Hi everyone,
The Sail Newport Regatta - July 13-14 this year -- is one of the signiture one-design regattas on the East Coast. For the past several years a small group of us has raced Sunfish and had a blast.
This is a great event for a weekend away, as there is always a big seabreeze and the...

Hi Everyone,
I hope everyone is enjoying their post-summer sailing season (not the off season). The Barrington Frostbite Association is about to kick into gear, with the first of 16 Sundays of sailing starting this weekend – Oct. 24 – at the Barrington (RI) Yacht Club.
There is no better...
Always generous with his knowledge, Bill Brangiforte has put together a lenghty, thoughtful and incredibly helpful words of wisdom reflecting back on a summer where he won both New England regionals, the North Americans and the US Masters.

HI there,
Newly crowned NA Champ Bill Brangiforte will be giving a free Sunfish racing clinic at the Wequaquet Lake YC in Centerville, MA tomorrow (July 30). Just show up between 2-5!
Bring your boat and compete in the New England Regionals at the same venue on Sat-Sun.
The 42nd Annual Bolton Lake Regatta is on Sunday. Come have a blast. This is a good event for skippers of virtually all skill levels, affordable, fun and the weather looks to be quite nice!

I'm curious how many of you out there have an old wooden Sunfish/Sailfish, or even a pre-70s Sunfish that you want to show off?
The US Masters Sunfish Regatta (the skipper must be 40 years and older) is being held in Barrington RI in August this year. Barrington is something of the home fleet...
Hi,
I love looking at these old Sunfish being rebuilt and wonder if maybe their owners would be willing to bring them to regional Sunfish regattas. Is there a Classic Sunfish Association? Could this be part of the USSCA?

Hi everone,
Members of the Barrington Yacht Club Frostbite Fleet have created and posted some nice photos and videos. They include video words of wisdom, "helmet-cam" video from the racing and tons of photos taken from the committee boat.
We had an outstanding first half of the winter...
Hi everyone,
We had a great day/ turnout on Sunday (Nov.) with a fleet that included former Olympians, world champs and otherwise outstanding sailors. After 5 weeks, with 3 weeks to go, Scott Greenbaum holds a slim lead over Andy David. Check out the New England site for photos, videos...

Hi all,
Sunfishworlds.com has some new videos on it now, including words of wisdom from World Champ. David Loring shot this week in the Bahamas.
ALso interviewed were 3rd-place finisher David Mendelblatt and the #2 woman, Andrea Aldana.
Go to the videos tab to see these videos...
We just got in after the final day of racing and it looks like David Loring is now a 3-time Sunfish World Champ. 2nd was PJ Patin, followed by David Mendelblatt. Less than 3 points separated the top 3 finishers. There are some protests and at least 3 boats were over early in the last race and...
Protests and redress hearings are going on now, but the bottom line is Dave Loring remains in the lead over Marx Chirnos after Day 3. David Mendelblatt had a mixed day with two bullets and a bad one. There are about five guys who could win with a good day on Friday.
Also interesting is the...
