Sunday is the Open 5.70 demo day in Newport. Not sure how many people will show up, but we’ve spoken with Brendan who owns the local 5.70 and we’ve got a “date” for sure. We’ll be meeting him to rig at Sail Newport so we can see just how easy it is to rig (he laughed and said it is indeed very easy when I asked if we could help). The weather is for high 40s so I doubt we’ll see a seabreeze. The forecast is calling for east winds around 10kts. We were hoping for more to see what the boat can do 2 up with our typical breeze, but we’ll take anything we can get. We’re just very excited to see the boat in person and answer about a million questions we have about it they best way possible, TO GO SAILING!
I’ll have a post up either Sunday night or Monday night with pictures and hopefully videos as well as our thoughts on the boat. Can’t wait.
