The Dog Days of Summer in Newport, RI!

We are loving the dog days of summer and the fabulous weather we have been having.  Our team mascot Brutus loves it too!  No better time for a 12 Meter sail.

12 Meter Rig Check!

What's the view like from 92 feet above a 12 Meter yacht?  Here's Captain Cedar doing a rig check on Heritage before racing in Nantucket.  Yes, our captain does it all!  The 63 foot deck of Heritage looks mighty small from high above.  Talk about a "bird's eye view!"

A Beautiful Morning in Newport!

Last week, Heritage left Newport at sunrise on her way to Nantucket.  While most of us were still sleeping the Heritage team got to enjoy the beautiful skies and calm of early morning in Newport.  What a sight!  Check out these fabulous pictures Captain Duncan took.

 

Columbia Wins in Nantucket!

Columbia once again defeated her competition in Nantucket!  Last Thursday and Friday America's Cup winner, Columbia, competed in the 2013 Nantucket Regatta.  In the two day regatta there were four races.  Columbia got two bullets, a second, and a third.  This speedy performance made her the Nantucket Traditional 12 Meter Regatta Winner for the second year in a row.  Go Team Columbia!

Happy National Picnic Month!

August is National Picnic Month and we love picnics at 12 Meter Charters!  Our 12 Meter yachts provide a perfect picnic location - cruising through Newport Harbor and Narragansett Bay.  Bring your own picnic supplies or let us make all the arrangements.  We look forward to welcoming you aboard!

Team Heritage Gets Race Ready!

Heritage gets ready to race in Nantucket!  Getting the race sails loaded and spin pole on board, the Heritage team was busy this week getting ready to rumble in Nantucket.  US 23 and crew will head to Nantucket on Friday where she will join Columbia who sailed there earlier this week.  Both Columbia and Heritage will be completing in the 41st Annual Opera House Cup on Sunday.  Good Luck to our12 Meter Teams!
