    Passages
    J 42
    Rochester Yacht Club
    Co-skipper: Richard Neubauer

  • Passages is celebrating her 10th year this year.  We do a few GO course races a year at RYC, The Hospice Regatta in Rochester and have done the Scotch Bonnet light race (Genesee Yacht club) every year except 1.  The rest of our time on the water is cruising.  The LO 300 looks like a great addition to our sailing calendar.  



  • Bob Fler
    Royal Flush
    Cathedral Bluffs Yacht Club
    Niagara 31
    Co-skipper: Lee Thomas

  • This is only the second year we have been racing our Niagara 31 at CBYC and we are very pleased with the results.
  • The boat was designed by German Frers as a fast cruiser/"Club" racer as is definitely up to the task. Interestingly, I heard that German Frers and his son are the designers behind the Swedish entry into the Americas Cup so in a very remote way there is racing in the heart of the Niagara 31. (A bit of a stretch?)
  • Looking forward to the race.
