🎃⛵️COMMANDERS WEATHER BRIEF⛵️🎃📍Marblehead Harbor | Saturday, October 24th 🏁 Halloween Team Race

⛅️Weather: A beautiful fall day is ahead, with sunny skies & no chance of rain. Temperatures will start in the upper 30s to low 40s, warming to the mid-50s by the afternoon.

💨Wind: Light-air conditions are expected to be a key factor, with winds ranging from 0-7 knots at times. Earlier estimates put winds closer to 5-10 knots. With a Northerly breeze in the morning and potentially shifting northeast during the afternoon. Expect tactical racing where reading the breeze and finding pressure will be crucial.

🌊Water Conditons: Relatively modest seas are expected, around 1-3 feet, with more sheltered conditions possible inside the harbor.

🥶Sailor Prep: Bundle up for the cold morning start! Bring warm layers, gloves, and appropriate sailing gear. Be ready for changing breeze and close tactical battles on the course.

🏴‍☠️Commanders Takeaway: Sunshine, cool temperatures, and light winds set the stage for a weekend of racing. Patience, teamwork, and sharp tactical decisions will be key.

🎃Fair winds, sail fast, and happy haunting!👻⛵️

A very special congratulations to Jud Smith, one of our own, on being named to the National Sailing Hall of Fame Class of 2026! ⛵️🏆

Jud’s impact on sailing goes far beyond an impressive list of championships and accolades. He’s spent a lifetime pushing the sport forward—as a sailor, sailmaker, coach, mentor, and, perhaps most importantly, as someone who is always willing to share what he knows.

For generations of sailors, Jud has been the person to learn from, race against, and look up to. His drive to understand the details, try something new, and constantly get better has made him one of the most respected figures in the sport.

And while his accomplishments on the racecourse speak for themselves, we’re especially proud to celebrate the person behind them: a dedicated husband and father, a generous teammate, and a passionate member of the sailing community.

Jud, congratulations on this incredible and well-deserved honor. We’re proud to call you one of our own and can’t wait to see your name among the legends of our sport. 🎉

⛵️ 4th Annual Club Championship — Day Sailer Trophy 🏆
Last Sunday brought a true test of sailing skill, with a strong, shifty westerly and six races sailed in a brand-new fleet of boats. With few advantages beyond sound tactics and solid boat handling, the conditions kept everyone on their toes.

Every team managed finishes in both the top and bottom three, and two teams even had scorelines featuring both a 1st and last-place finish. Of the eight boats competing, one team stood out with just a single finish outside the top two.

Congratulations to Vice Commodore Larry Ehrhardt and his crew — Kelsey Wheeler, Charlotte List, and George Malcomson — on a commanding victory in the 4th Annual Club Championship for the Day Sailer Trophy! 🏆

A huge thank-you to everyone who made the event possible:
• PRO Kate Dailey for impeccable race management
• Sailing Director Justin Ahearn for running the robotic marks and Vakaros RaceSense units
• Susie Schneider for scoring
• Kathy Andreasen and Anne Marije Veenland at the weather marks
• And, of course, the house staff for the now-staple post-race mac & cheese! 🧀

Full results and team rosters are here. ⛵️
