UP NEXT…Bella Mente in Newport »
May 24, 2010
Up Next – This week, 42 Marine departs to Newport, RI to do some training and racing on Hap Fauth’s 69ft Bella Mente in preparation for the New York Yacht Club Annual Regatta, and the Newport/Bermuda Race. Bella Mente is coming off a win in Key West earlier this year and has done well in its past few events so expectations will be high for good performances in a few weeks.
Training will involve three days of sail and rig checks along with going through all of the crew maneuvers. If there are reasonable conditions forecast for the weekend, the boat will be delivered to Stamford, CT and we will partake in the Block Island Race. Hopefully by the end of the week we will have accomplished our training goals and will be ready for the NYYC Annual and the Newport/Bermuda Race.
I am looking forward to the challenges of working with in a big boat team and getting to know the ins and outs of a high profile program like Bella Mente. Boat call is at 9:30 am….time for bed…Standing by in Newport…
