 In Disguise Vee Jay as #1150  Cruising Along Naples Beach GPS Training Can we go faster?  Setting Up This J/80 was dry sailed out of Ft. Adams in its prior life, so we had to add a few cleats for its new mooring life in Newport, and slip life in Naples Fl. |

| Captain Vic moves from a J/22 to J/80 in
Newport, RI Summer, 2014 -- It all started out, summer 2013, when Captain Vic thought that a seasonal pass on a brand new J/22 at Sail Newport Sailing Center would be the best sailing option in Newport. But the J/22 was way too small, cramped and uncomfortable for an easy spin program with seniors and kids. And the "allowed cruising range" at Sail Newport just didn't match the need to spin off Beavertail using Cap'n Vic's 30-year-old Program A spin routine. So Easter Week 2014, a J/80 [2008 -- Portsmouth Princess] popped up for sale at Ft. Adams; and in a couple of days, managed to find its way to the driveway at Cap'n Vic's crew quarters on the "Hill." Here is the start on the ongoing saga of Vee Jay ... the J/80. This is the 3rd Vee Jay; the first two Vee Jays were J/30s ... over 30 years worth. |
