Does anybody know how this happened?

My kids go to a similar summer sailing camp in Florida. Want to learn as much as i can about this incident, to ensure the risk of it happening again is eliminated.

Original Title: The 2025 Fastnet race winner, SVR Lazartigue, rounding the Fastnet rock this weekend on the race 100th anniversary. I was incredibly lucky to watch it go around the lighthouse. They are awe inspiring machines and zoom along at 30kts in near silence!

This is unfortunate. I know that the barges are sneaky. I often locate them at the last moment here in NYC harbor.

Hey everyone! This Thursday I’m heading out on my first-ever sailing trip — and I’m ridiculously excited (!!!).

For context: I’m not the one sailing — I’ll be a guest along for the ride — and it’s a 6-day trip. I’ve never been on a sailboat before or even boat (unless you count canoes and kayaks, lol), and I have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to packing.

So I’m calling on the seasoned sailors/boaters/travelers here: What’s one thing you absolutely recommend bringing — something you’d never leave the dock without?

Bonus points if it’s something people often forget until it’s too late. Thanks in advance!

And tiller! I have a 24 ft Neptune from 1978 sitting at anchor. I climbed abord today and suddenly realized my rudder was just gone.

It's a 5 foot long slab of fiberglass that feels like it weighs 50 pounds. It's probably on the bottom in 8 to 20 feet of water.

I'm trying to figure out what to do.

• Have a new one made? (who by?) Probably costs more than the whole boat is worth.
• Make one myself - Do I have the time? Skill? Even the pintles probably cost hundreds.
• Snorkling for prizes! Low chance of success, but cheap!

Any advice?

Hiya sailors,

When you are a member of a yacht club with reciprocal privileges, what does that usually include?

Can you simply show up at another club with your membership card and expect access to seating areas, dining, and general facilities? Is it acceptable to hang out for a bit, maybe even set up your laptop and get some work done with a nice view? And if a club hosts something like Friday races, is it cool to join for a day as a visiting member?

This would not be a regular thing obviously, just let's check this club out for a day kind of thing.

Curious if you guys know how much flexibility is typically extended to visiting members.

Thanks!
