Midweek Magic: A Solid Wednesday Night on the Water

There’s something special about a Wednesday evening sail—when the workday fades out and the wind picks up, it’s like flipping the switch from grind mode to glide mode. Last night was one of those nights that reminded us why we love this sport. Perfect weather, steady breeze around 10-12 MPH, and a boat full of eager, focused sailors getting better with every tack and jibe.

We're in the early stages of training a new team, and they absolutely showed up. Some of the wind angles were tricky—especially downwind—but this group didn't flinch. They nailed a bear-away set and, in the middle of a pretty deep angle, managed a clean and decisive jibe that kept the kite flying and the boat moving fast. That kind of responsiveness under pressure is what separates a crew that sails from a crew that races.

The energy onboard was all-in: focused but fun, serious about getting better but still cracking jokes between maneuvers. Team chemistry doesn’t just happen—you build it one rep at a time, and last night was a solid building block.

It wasn’t just a great sail. It was a great team sail.

Looking forward to the next one. Let’s keep the momentum going.
