After sailing to the race course north of the Newport Bridge\, the strong morning northerly faded to five to eight knots for the windward/leeward two-lap course (Race three of the series). The race committee pivoted quickly to set up the next race 12 minutes after the last finisher crossed the finish line. \nSoon after the start\, though\, the wind began to diminish.  As the fleet sailed upwind against the current\, the wind faded to below the race minimum and the race committee had to abandon. Only the few sailors who had made it around the windward mark were disappointed! \nAs predicted\, Narragansett Bay’s sea breeze finally filled mid-afternoon.  A five-leg course was set in solid hiking breeze\, with an upwind finish towards the bridge that shortened the sail home to Sail Newport after finishing. \nRodriguez and Scheuermann solidified their lead after winning both races and ending with nine points overall. Callahan and Davis scored a 2-2\, moving them up to second place with 12 points overall. Diaz and Rodriguez Horan dropped to third place with a 1-13 and 29 points overall. But  once the regatta reaches 6 races and a drop is triggered\, this is still anyone’s championship\, \nRacing continues tomorrow at 1100. \nRegatta Day 1 Brief:\nThe 55-boat-strong North American Championship first day of racing started in moderate wind.   The race course was located north of the Newport Bridge in the Gould Island area. A southerly built to seven to eight knots\, launching the fleet on their first two-lap windward/leeward course of the championship. \nRace 2 started under similar conditions\, with less current than in Race 1. Shortly after the start\, radar indicated a storm approaching from the west.  The Race continued\, but on the third leg\, the race committee shortened the course at the second weather mark for safety.  The fleet was sent back to shore after the finish. \nThe regatta fleet roster is deep with talent\, including Olympic\, Hall of Fame\, Collegiate All-Americans\, and many championship sailors.  At the end of the day\, the scoreboard shows Ernesto Rodriguez and Taylor Scheuermann (Miami\, FL) with seven points overall.  Only one point behind first\, two boats are tied for second place\, including multi-time Snipe champion Augie Diaz and Ciara Rodriguez Horan (Miami\, FL)\, and Newport’s Justin Callahan and Trevor Davis (Annapolis\, MD)\, both teams with eight points.  Hunting the top three is Carol Cronin (Jamestown\, RI) and Kim Couranz\, champion women sailors and longtime sailing partners in the fleet\, in fourth place overall with 19 points. Cronin and Couranz won the regatta last time a Snipe championship was sailed in Newport \nPreview\nNewport Snipe fleet 17 along with Sail Newport are thrilled to host the 2026 North American Championships. Fleet 17 has shown tremendous growth over the last few years and look forward to showing off the splendor that sailing in Newport has to offer. The traditional sea breeze is the mainstay of Narragansett Bay. \nThis championship marks the first Snipe North American’s to be hosted in Newport and the 1st major championship since the 2018 women’s worlds which was won by Newport’s own Carol Cronin and longtime crew Kim Couranz. \nThe Championship is expected to attract teams from California\, Florida\, Mid Atlantic\, Mid-West\, New England and Canada.

The first Sail For Pride Regatta rallied over 180 boats and raised $110\,000 designated for charities to support the NYFD firefighters\, police and the victims of the attacks and their families.\nThe display of patriotism and generosity on and off the water made a lasting impression in the sailing community. After the inaugural year\, the organizers retired the name Sail for Pride\, but continued the event as Sail For Hope\, reflecting the Rhode Island state motto and focused the mission to support local non-profit endeavors.\nCharities supported over the years include Seamen’s Church Institute\, Newport Harbormaster’s Emergency Equipment Fund\, local public high school sailing teams\, US Olympic Sailing Trials\, The Rhode Island Red Cross hurricane relief funds\, emergency assistance to active duty families and many others. \n2026 Charities to Benefit from Regatta Funds\n \nFolds of Honor website \nFolds of Honor provides life-changing educational scholarships to the spouses and children of America’s fallen or disabled military service members and first responders. The call is powerful. The mission is simple:Honor their sacrifice\, educate their legacy\, unite Americans around all those who serve.  \n. \n \n Donate Today!\n \n \nTunnel to Towers Foundation website \nSince 9/11\, we have been helping America’s heroes by providing mortgage-free homes to Gold Star and fallen first responder families with young children and by building specially-adapted smart homes for catastrophically injured veterans and first responders. Children of the Foundation’s home recipients are offered full scholarships for undergraduate degrees and accredited trade school programs\, helping secure their futures. We are also committed to eradicating veteran homelessness and helping America to Never Forget September 11\, 2001. \n \n Donate Today!\n \n \nWarrior Sailing website \nGetting military service members on the water can provide physical\, mental and emotional therapy for a variety of injuries and illness. Sailing is an outlet to cope with the long term effects of PTSD\, brain injury\, amputation\, paralysis and nerve damage…plus it’s really fun way for our warrior sailors to express their most natural abilities: teamwork and competitive drive. \n \n Donate Today!

This year\, the Halloween Howl’s first day of racing resembled an early spring sailing day. The breeze was challenging\, varying between six and 12 knots and swung from west to north over the four races. However\, the backdrop for racing was a brilliantly sunny sky and sparkling bay. 23 C420s and 31 Optimist boats racing are registered from RI\, MA\, CT\, and NY. \nThe sailors are showing top skills in tight racing in both fleets. The scoreboard for the Optimist Class shows a three-way tie in total points after four races. The race committee and sailors embraced the spirit in costumes both on the water and at the post-race shoreside social and costume contest. Racing continues tomorrow.
