Latest Activities

Winter: race-ready maintenance of hull and deck for the Farr 39 having it ready for the Winter series in Texoma.

Test of Viper 640: on early January the Viper Association made a huge effort to promote and test some of the new designed Vipers 640. Britton Brian Bennett flew from his hometown in England to help promoting this magnificent class of sport boat, featuring a heavier keel and much lighter composite rig. The boat hits the low 6 knots upwind and keeps it's typical screaming speeds on the upper teens on the way down. We also tested a new Ullman Sails class legal Jib with a deep foot for choppy conditions.

Summer:
Being based in North Texas does not allow too much training on the water during summer. Working on a sailboat-related company helps keep me active in terms of stat-of-mind giving also a break to the physical act of sailing. Back to gym training and following up on the Olympics are the main "keep up" activities until the local season starts again in late September.

Next upcoming event is the Texoma's Wunderlick Regatta, hosted by the Texoma Sailing Club on August 30 the and 31st. I will be trimming headsails and spinnakers for the Farr 39 Mauri Pro Sailing Team.
