International Thunderbird Class Association
More than just a sailboat… a way of life!
Nine races were completed over two days. Day one saw light but steady winds from the SE and the race committee was able to pull off five races. On day two the winds were much stronger (15-20 kts.) The first two or three race saw mostly jibs being used, but most boats has switched to their genoas by the end of racing. The after party/dinner/awards ceremony on the Port Townsend waterfront was enjoyed by all.
Team Raven from Port Townsend, sailing a loaner boat (Atomic Salsa), took three first place finishes on the last day of racing to win the 2019 Thunderbird International Championship Regatta in Boston. Congratulations to Steve Scharf, Jon Piskula, Simon Miles, Jeff Brantley, and Angie Brantley! To see the official results please visit the regatta web site.
