NOTES:

7/30 1900:

We capped off the 2016 New England Solo/Twin Saturday evening 5pm at the Newport Yacht Club.  About 45 people braved the Newport traffic and enjoyed themselves at the awards.  It is amazing how much we can gab after these races!  It was really wonderful to see everyone.

The results are posted above. The following is a summary.
33 boats registered, 27 boats started, 20 boats finished.

Class 1:
1st – Samba; Tristan Mouligne & Ted Winston (Tristan is a Bermuda One-Two veteran)
2nd – Breakaway; Paul Grimes & David Moffet
3rd – Shearwater; Joe Whelan & Chris Bjerregaard (first to physically finish in class)

Class 2:
1st – Dark Star; Mark Gervais & Carol Tobian
2nd – Choucas; Fred Cosandey & Ernest Berger (1st to physically finish in class and Bermuda One-Two veterans)

Class 6:Only one boat started but didn’t finish.

The Cliff Mitchell Family Trophy, awarded to the best Family boat (4 family boats finished), was awarded to Larvik – Kim Andersen and William Beebe.

The New England ShortHanded Ocean Racing Trophy: This trophy is awarded to the best performing boat in the Offshore 160 (single handed race) and double handed in the Solo/Twin.  2014 was the first year that it was awarded.  Samba, Tristan Mouligne, was the only boat that did both races however the fact that he won both classes he was in justified his winning the trophy.  This year we had four candidates: Breakaway (Paul Grimes), Highlander (Jonathan Bixby), Inigo Montoya (Mike Piper) and Meridian (Murray Beach).  Breakaway (Paul Grimes) was awarded the trophy having a 1st in his class of the Offshore 160 and a 2nd in his class of the New England Solo/Twin double handed.

Some of Bill Shea’s pictures from the Race Committee Boat were shown during the awards/party and can be viewed at the Newport Yacht Club Facebook page.

Thanks to all the skippers that participated and I’d like to thank those that helped run this race.
