Sails Meeting - Part 2
Although the beginning of Fleet 54's season has been slow to warm up, there is a fair amount of action behind the scenes...
The first outing for US Blues was brought to a screaming halt by a mysterious lack of mainsail battens. This past Friday I dropped in to see our new friends at Quantum Newport to replace the missing battens and arrived to find a loft devoted entirely to building 110 sails for a couple of the boats in our fleet. It would have made for a good picture. So, with half the fleet back from Block Island Race Week, Oakley's boat finally making it out of it's refit and sails full of battens, we look forward to a good night this week. We also get to see what the boys at Quantum came up with for go-fast sails.
I did have to laugh that Ross and Oakley's sails were being build on a Friday afternoon. I almost dropped back in with a case of beer to help with quality control.
