May the New Year bring you more wind than drift, more clean lanes than crowded mark roundings, and more good decisions than last-second saves.

May your FD plane early and smoothly, the spinnaker always set without a fight, and measurements, protests, and tricky weather stay well to leeward.

We wish you strong health (because even the fastest boat needs a fit crew), crew chemistry better than the finest epoxy, and a season full of regattas that turn into great stories told long after the boats are ashore.

See you on the water — with fair winds, good laughs, and the Flying Dutchman in your hearts.

Fair winds and fast sailing in 2026!
