Hope everyone is enjoying your holiday and we are looking forward to a great 2022 season on Alliance. Next zoom call is Monday 3 Jan and here is agenda:
SAS – Given the rapidly changing COVID environment and since we more than meet the SAS requirements for NB22, please make your own individual risk decision for attending for those who are signed up to attend. From what we understand, masks required, all participants must be fully vacv’d and boosted, and need a negative COVID test within 24 hours of course start.
Schedule – CM updated for 2022 Alliance events which was coordinated with Bill for his Vento Solare Schedule. Will discuss the plan and desires for confirming what NB22 workup needs are. Please take a look at so you are familiar with for discussion with more details to follow.
Watch this video on drogue steering and we will discuss: https://bermudarace.com/
Boom Brake: We are thinking of going with boom brake set up to meet NB22 requirements. Please watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?
More info on boom preventer options located here https://www.practical-sailor.
Alliance update – hull, electrical, routine, navigation, standing plan development, new watch rotation concept and sail status.
Cheers,
Alliance Racing

Competitor Bulletin #13 released this morning now has COVID testing options arranged by the Bermuda Race organizing committee. Looks like a simpler process.

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
