The Season Begins
Gray clouds kicked off the sailing season, but the wind was ideal for our “Tuneup Regatta.” Fifteen skippers joined the fun on Back Bay, and it proved to be a great day to sail. No scores were kept even though the competition was intense at times, putting the Rules Class to the test.

Colorful sails are back on Back Bay for the start of the 2021 Sailing Season.
Rick Laird receives an award in recognition of his first win with the Back Bay Skippers.
Anthony Quinn tries a new tuning method.
Joel Nelson corrects a couple of issues with his boat.
Chinese Junk, Black Sails - Are there pirates on Back Bay?
We are lucky to have such a great path from which to sail our boats.

Five people gathered for the inaugural US12 sail on Thursday, May 6. Strong winds and whitecaps provided too much of a challenge so the discouraged skippers called it a day.

 

 

Join the fun on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 1 PM.
(weather permitting)

A beautiful Spring day, but too windy for sailing US12s
