The 2018 sailing season on New York's Long Island Sound ended Nov. 24th with the Turkey Day Reach. It was a cold and grey, but a great way to sail away a Thanksgiving food coma. This video shows how well SOULMATES' Uni-Titanium mainsail is holding up after three full seasons of racing. The sail is still smooth, strong and fast. Thank you to Todd Aven for shooting these clips during the last race of a great season, in which Soulmates won the Gitanna Trophy -- awarded by the YRA of LIS for the season championship for the fastest PHRF boats.

How to tie a 🥨 Heaving Line Knot. ... This is an easy, but very useful knot for those times when you need to heave a line ashore or over to another boat. It's fun to tie and flies well. Tie it while you are chugging towards the marina and have it ready in good time. ... Use this knot to add a bit of weight to the end of your rope so it's easier to throw. Try not to hit the person on the dock who's trying to catch it! ... There are lots of variations of this such as the Monkey's Fist, but this one is my favourite for when you are short of time. It's easy to untie too, once the line is safely heaved over. ... The trick is to give yourself enough rope to work with, so make your loops a fair way down from the working end, just practice it. .....
