Sunday,during the winter in New England is frostbite day. This past Sunday I had the opportunity to race dinghys against several of my old college teammates, Skip Whyte and Bob Hicks. It occurred to me during the day that I had not sailed a dinghy since 1972. Great fun, I exhibited rust. I really like the format of short races, as in college sailing.
the University of Rhode Island sailing team 1966-1970 another great memory remembering how good we once were. As you can see from the photos sailing attire had yet to evolve. the whole environment was a long way from where it is today, nonetheless I would not trade these memories for anything. we won almost everything there was to win. eventually being ranked number two in the nation. never quite making it to number one. most of those pictured are still involved in sailing in some capacity,making contributions to the sport.
