Mudnight Madness by the rockets red glare!

This is the Third Annual Mudnight Madness Overnight around Block Island. The date keeps moving around because of the July 4th holiday and the shifting sands of time on the calendar, but whenever you go offshore at night, it's bound to create the kind of challenge that has sent men and women to the sea for centuries. So, now that we have the event in historical context, you will find all you need right here. The entry form and waiver can be downloaded as well as the NOR and the Sailing Instructions.

...Must Come Down!

MUDHEADS SCORE AT BLOCK ISLAND… IT’S TIME TO GO AROUND IT!

Congratulations to the Mudheads who raced at Block Island last week. One More Time with Peb and Woody Berghendahl and Bruce Lockwood won the Farr 30 class with Moise Solomon and Scott Baker’s Kaizen in second. Kyle Fast led a band of boys to men to take 2^nd overall losing the tiebreaker in PHRF 4 in Alohomora a.k.a. Dragon Z Ballz. That included a bullet in the Around the Island Race on Monday. Bijan Rasadi’s Showdown also grabbed second in the J-29 fleet.

Others who did the week and are better off for it included Jon Bewabe on 2^nd Chance, past Commodore Bill Mortensen on Wunder Dog, Hugh Mclean on Shearwater, John Sutherland on She’s the Bos, Mike LaChance on Dark n’Stormy and Ron Levine on The Cat Came Back. Another dozen or so Mudhead POTRAFs (parasites of the rich and famous) made their appearances during a week that saw breezes top 30 on Monday and drop to near zero on Thursday. Most classes were able to get in 8 races.
