Ocean Racers

A different kind of NYC sailing weekend…

This weekend Morgen and I worked with onboard a VIP spectator boat - Morgen working with the captain on ops and the best course viewing position (nailed it 👌) and myself as the Host!

Saturday was a challenging day with big breeze and only 4 boats were able to launch. But Super Sunday was a major redemption with 11 boats, 3 exciting fleet races and an epic final.

Really best views in the house, and I particularly enjoyed doing some private live commentary with the crowd on the bridge deck — the conspiracy theories on the race 3 crash were flying through the crowd 💥😆

Was anyone else there or watching live?? What did you think?!

Springtime sailing in NYC ⛵️

We’ve had some really lovely day sails these past couple of weeks, particularly yesterday. Gusts over 20 knots with full main and ultimately the J2, paired with some active main sheet trimming upwind, and Buckaroo was flying 🚀

We welcomed some new crew onboard for the day as well. Amanda was on the helm nearly all day. Coming from no big boat sailing experience, she handled the helm like a pro… and she was so hooked on the feeling, she’s contemplating buying her own boat!

Does this boat make you instantly to fall in love? Yes, yes it does… but you can see for yourself. A few spots on our November offshore training passage are still open: https://oceanracers.net/project/nyc-bermuda/

It’s great to be back in NY. You can find us sail testing and training on the Hudson River and Long Island Sound for the summer.

Lots to do and lots to learn to get this carbon weapon ready for her Caribbean debut this fall. Find out how you can get onboard for racing, ocean passages, and even some warm-water Caribbean cruising this winter. Message us for details.
