Congrats to 1st place winners in ORC Class Six!
Competitor Bulletin #13 released this morning now has COVID testing options arranged by the Bermuda Race organizing committee. Looks like a simpler process.
Eric and Mary to meet Bill, Gardner and Erin at Borden Light near entrance at 1000. Will quickly scope out dock we are going to, Eric to drive all to Alliance. Please bring your lunch. We will have warm beverages, beer and rum to share.
Cheers

For Sunday, we will be doing some mast wiring work between 09-1100 with Bill. If you can come early to help (two trips up the mast) that would be great. We picked up some J122 Zig Zag Sails to check out between 1100-1500 as well as our recut Code 75. From Zig Zag we will got a Code Zero, A1, A2, a lite Jib and M/H jib. So some batten stuffing prep also required. We also toured Zig Zag and got to see their new bottom paint job. We have beer and Dark & Stormy. Please bring your own lunches. Good discussion with Bruce Berriman today about inspection and did get to fly the Code 55. Kevin Farrar recut the luff and leech so flies much nicer.
See some of you tonight at CHNYC.
Cheers,
Alliance Racing
