CONGRATULATIONS TO JONATHAN HARVEY, '59 Jonathan Harvey has provided the following description of the regatta he completed last weekend. "Resolute" is Jonathan’s boat. "Pleased to report that Resolute was First to Finish and overall winner of the Marblehead leg of the 2018 Panerai Classic Yacht Regatta in the Grand Prix Class. Jack Alexander, Paul Chassie, Brian Cardillo and Paul Conway (a new recruit) aboard. Two trophies, one from the Corinthian Yacht Club and one from the Panerai Watch Company, a large silver plate, and lots of photos at the awards ceremony. There were 45 boats this year including the 12 Metre Valiant, Columbia (the Starling Burgess schooner), a sister ship to Resolute, Sonny, a New York 50, a New York 40, sister ship to Rod Steven's Mustang, the Sydney Herreshoff 42 sailed by John Taguiri, two Concordia yawls, Blackwatch (with Robbie Doyle aboard), the big Sparkman, and Stevens yawl that beat us to win the regatta a few years back, and an array of magnificent classic yachts. Conditions were Resolute weather, flat, 10-13 knots of breeze and a light rain. We used the #1 Doyle jib, took the lead early on and never relinquished it. No boat caught us, although it was a bit close at the finish. With the board up on the reaching legs, Resolute just accelerated and seemed to be telling us to just 'let her run'. I kept a light hand on the tiller and she loped along the following seas with very little commotion. It was a triangle course up to Newcomb's Ledge, then to the next mark, twice around, finish at the head of Marblehead Harbor. It was a bit nerve wracking at the end, and sweet relief to get the gun with the whole fleet pounding on our back door (18 miles). A very special day for Resolute and her last major regatta. At the end of season she is being donated to the Herreshoff Marine Museum in Bristol." NEWS FROM CATHERINE SCOTT, '59 Catherine Scott, '59, reports that she has moved to France to join her daughter's family in Capbreton, southwest, near the Atlantic. She says that it's an amazing opportunity: family, French food, the ocean - oolala!! She sends her love to her Class of '59 and says, "Come see what the shouting's about, friends!
