Block Island Boat Basin and Cliff and Sands Payne of Payne’s NewHarbor Dock have been critical to our success as they have all simpli-fied the task of organizing our Fleet of Race Committee assets.
Our sponsors have yet again provided us with the support necessary toorchestrate another first class event. Events such as this one simplycannot happen without a loyal group of sponsors. Considering thatBlock Island Race Week is run exclusively by Storm Trysail Club mem-ber volunteers, and that entry fees would only pay for a small percent-age of our total costs, I hope that everyone understands and appreci-ates the contribution and the value that these companies bring to thisevent. Please thank and support them.
For the first time in the regattas history, one of your skippers will win aninvitation to compete in the Bitter End Yacht Club’s Pro Am Regatta,scheduled for October 31 - November 7, 2009, in Virgin Gorda, BVI. Thetop Corinthian owner/driver in each class will be entered into a drawingat the Awards Ceremony on Friday, June 26. The lucky winner willrecieve an invitations to race, eight days and seven nights’ accomoda-tion, and all meals. Good Luck!
Lastly we thank you, the competitors, for your continued support of thisand all Storm Trysail events.
Sincerely,Eric Kreuter, Chairman

Low pressure remains meandering around offshore to the E-SE and SE.
To the NE side of this low, there will continue to be a brisk/strong NE to N gradient over the
region with wind into the 20s.
With this strong N-NE flow there will be lots of lower clouds with drizzle and rain at times.
Temperatures will be quite chilly and remain steady in the lower 60s

Block Island is a special place with its own unique quirks. For example,because the U.S. Postal Service only delivers mail to the island’s postoffice there are no street addresses here. Every building has a firenumber, but they are non-sequential so don’t use them locate a place.All of the phone numbers listed here have a 401 area code exceptwhere noted.
A well-fed crew is a fast one. The Block Island Grocery Store (466-2949), located just outside of town,has a deli department that caters to race teams with box lunches forthe water and cold cut platters for post-race meals. If you pre-orderyour crew’s on-board eats for the entire week, they’ll have it ready forpickup each morning. You can also order box lunches on a daily basisby calling before 6pm prior to each sailing day. The store also has agood selection of beer and wine and they’re open from 8am to 8pm.
You can also pre-order box lunches at Sharkys (466-9900), locatedon Corn Neck Road (across from the Yellow Kittens Tavern), as well asThree Sisters (466-9661) on Old Town Road. You can’t go wrong withtheir Twisted Sister (turkey, bacon, cheddar cheese, avocado, romainelettuce and tomato on a roll) …although your vegan crew might preferto tuck into a Hippie Sister (roasted veggies and hummus in a wrap).
Our pick for a hearty breakfast is Aldo’s on Weldon’s Way (466-2198). Bring your hungry crew in for omelets, French toast or the dailyspecial, and pick up some pies, pastries bread and cakes for later.
For your morning coffee (and great egg sammies), see the friendlyfolks set up next to the store at the Boat Basin, or stop into Juice n’Java (466-5220) on Dodge Street. If you’re looking for homemade pies,pastries and sandwiches, visit The Block Island Depot (466-2072) onOcean Avenue, where you’ll also find groceries. They’re open from 6:30am to 6:30pm. Bethany’s Airport Diner (466-3100), located at the BlockIsland Airport. They sell chowder, chili and stew by the pot for post-race meals, and they’ll prepare box lunches for the boat.
The Redbird Liquor Store (466-2441) on Dodge Street is open from9am to 9pm Monday through Thursday, 9am to 10pm Friday andSaturday and noon to 6pm Sunday during Race Week. They will deliveryour liquid provisions if you place a sufficiently large order…and if yourcrew is anything like the ones we know that won’t be a problem!
Did you forget to pack your deck shoes or shades? The Block IslandSport Shop (466-5001), located in the Seaside Marketplace on Weldon’sWay, has sandals and sailing shoes by Teva and Keen, Maui Jim sun-glasses, Marmot clothing and Suunto watches. They’re open from 9amto 9pm. Although it’s primarily a SCUBA shop, Island Outfitters and DiveShop (466-5502), located on Ocean Avenue, carries sunglasses, foulweather gear and Merrell sandals and shoes. They’re open weekdaysfrom 9am to 5pm.
Block Island has 17 miles of sandy beaches, and there’s good surf-ing when conditions are favorable (although we’re not divulging thelocation of the tastiest spots!). If you want to rent a board, visitBlockhead Surf Shop (466-9876) on Chapel Street.

The island has nofull service pharmacy,although McQuade’sPharmacy inWesterly, RI (596-0277) will fill your pre-scription and send itover to the island byair (for a nominaldelivery fee), usuallyby 6pm.

There are only 21 miles of paved roads on Block Island, as well asmany more unpaved miles that range from smooth, hard-packedpaths to sandy Jeep trails. These roads are narrow, with few turn-arounds, so be ready to back up so oncoming traffic can get by.Beware of the numerous car-busting rocks strewn along the unpavedroads. Riding a moped or scooter on Block Island’s unpaved roads isagainst the law. Nevertheless, you might encounter an errant motor-biker, so maintain a vigilant watch.
There are several moped and bicycle accidents on Block Islandeach season, and statistics don’t make good crew. The island’sphysicians, Janice Miller, MD and Paul Mann, MD, urge visitors tofollow the rules of the road: don’t speed, ride single file, obey trafficsignals, and (above all) wear a helmet. To that, we add this mantra:Slow on the bike – Fast on the boat, Slow on the bike – Fast on theboat…
TaxisIf you need to get around the Block quickly and inexpensively, call acab – you’ll never have a long wait for one. The drivers maintain con-stant communication with one another, and if the cab you’ve hailed isalready full the driver will contact another to pick you up soon.
Many of Block Island’s taxi drivers are year-round residents, andthey’re an unparalleled source of information on the best places todine, drink and shop, along with island history and local scuttlebutt.Most of the island’s cabs can accommodate parties of five or more,and many of the companies listed below offer island tours.

There’s always a strong One-Design contingent at Block Island RaceWeek, and many of the regatta’s closest points battles are waged in theseclasses. This year’s Race Week serves as the Farr 30 East CoastChampionship, the J/109 East Coast Championship, and the first-ever J/122North American Championship. There will also be class starts for the 19-boat J/105 fleet, the NYYC Swan 42s (14 boats), the Farr 40s (7), theBeneteau 36.7s (6) and the venerable J/44s (6).
The scorelines for the NYYC Swan 42 fleet from the last Block IslandRace Week show how close the racing is in this fleet, which has nearlydoubled in size since 2007 - eight boats sailed in 2007 and there are 14 thisyear. In ’07, Preben Ostberg & Bud Dailey, Jr.’s Tsunami (Rockville, MD)scored a one-point victory over Phil Lotz’s Arethusa, with Andrew Fisher’sBandit (Greenwich, CT) taking third, one point astern of Arethusa. All ofthose boats are back this year, along with several other strong contenders,including an Annapolis, MD-based boat named Mustang skippered by GaryJobson.
The J/122 class is enjoying excellent growth. In 2007, three 122s wereentered in the IRC 4 class…and they were dominant. Jim Johnstone’sTumbleweed III (Newport, RI) notched four bullets on the way to victory,with Andrew Weiss’ Christopher Dragon (Mamaroneck, NY) one pointbehind in second place and Dave & MaryEllen Tortorello’s Partnership(Fairfield, CT) in third. This year, 11 boats comprise the J/122 One-Designclass. With Tumbleweed absent, Christopher Dragon and Partnership mustbe considered the favorites, although many boats constitute a seriousthreat, including Mike Bruno, Tom Boyle & Jim Callahan’s Wings(Irvington, NY).
Thirteen boats are entered for the 2009 J/109 East Coast Championship.The 2007 Race Week class winner, Stephen Tedeschi’s Tastes LikeChicken, did not make the trip north from St. Petersburg, FL this year, so
look for a tough scrap between Rick Lyall’s Storm (Wilton, CT; second in‘07), David Jannetti’s Jibber Jabber (Southampton, NY; third in ‘07) andGossip (Wainscott, NY; fourth in ’07). We understand that the crew of thelatter boat, entered by “Group W,” is off the bench and they “Wanna Kill,Kill!”
Most of the six boats in the Beneteau 36.7 class did not compete atRace Week in 2007, although the winner of that regatta, Tom Peelen’sQuokka (South Dartmouth, MA) is here to defend their title and should beconsidered the boat to beat.
Five of the seven boats in the Farr 40 class hail from the Chesapeake,with the others from Bermuda and New York. Larry Bulman & LarryScholz’s Yellow Jacket (Bethesda, MD) took third in class in ’07 when theF40s sailed in IRC 2, and they’re among the favorites this year. The U.S.Merchant Marine Academy’s Nimbus (Kings Point, NY; formerly owned byAl Minella, the boat was fourth in IRC 2 in ’07) will be co-skippered thisweek by Midshipmen Chris Branning (who had a starring role in Disney’sMorning Light) and Mike Wagoner, and we expect to see them at thepointy end of the fleet.
There are six boats in the Farr 30 fleet, a significant increase from 2007when two boats (then known as Mumm 30s) sailed in IRC 4. This classappears too closely matched to pick a favorite, but no team will be fightingharder than the Cadets aboard the U.S. Coast Guard Academy’s Ebur (NewLondon, CT). Another F30 to watch is Norm & Cam Dean’s Just Plain Nutz(Pleasant Valley, NY).
With one exception, the boats in the J/44 class are the same six thatcompeted at the last Block Island Race Week. Each of the 44s will beusing their class association-owned One-Design sails at Race Week, andthe finishes will likely be among the closest on any of the circles. JeffWillis’ Challenge IV (Huntington, NY) posted a scoreline of four bullets and
three seconds to win this classin ’07, and they’ll be pushedhard (as always) by JimBishop’s Gold Digger (NewYork, NY; second in ’07) andDon & Rick Rave’s Resolute(Huntington Bay, NY; third in’07).
The six J/29s that comprisethe PHRF 2 division are not sail-ing One-Design due to varia-tions in their rig configurationsand auxiliary powerplants(masthead & fractional; inboard& outboard). The boat to beat isJohn & Tony Esposito’s Hustler(Mohegan Lake, NY), who post-ed a near-perfect scoreline fortheir win two years ago. Otherteams that look strong are IraPerry’s Seefest (Dartmouth,MA) and the U.S. MerchantMarine Academy’s Renegade(Kings Point, NY), skippered byMidshipman Logan Keltermann.

Marcy TrenholmMaking Storm Trysail Commodores look good for 20 years
The phrase goes that “behind every successfulBlock Island Race Week there is a woman.”That woman is our very own Marcy Trenholm,STC’s Executive Director and the Club’s onlyfull-time employee. This year Marcy is enjoyingher 11th BIRW and has become the catalystthat holds it all together. What other event doyou know of, that organizes, sets up, functions,and breaks down inside of two weeks?...All on aremote island, no less! Marcy’s job descriptionmight look something like this: Executive
Director, responsible for Sponsor Relations, Clothing, Transportation,Scheduling, Bookkeeping, Communications, and, above all, Morale. Marcydoes it all and does it with good doses of humor and cheer.
Marcy’s tenure with Storm Trysail began in 1989. Like most "Employees ofYacht Clubs," her Boss (the Commodore) changes every two years and inaddition, has a new Race Week Chairman to deal with for each event.Needless to say, she has had to be flexible over the years. She has report-ed to 11 different administrations and has evolved into the "CorporateMemory" for the Club. Chances are that as competitors, you have all hadan opportunity to confer with Marcy. She is our number one problemsolver and the only one with all of the answers. It is safe to say that theonly thing she does not have a hand in at Block Island is the weather.
The “buzz” on AED TrainingThe Storm Trysail Club goes the extra mile to keep everyone safe atRace Week, and once again thanks to Captain David R. Blaney ofBlaney Marine Safety, an AED (automatic emergency defibrillator) ison the water at all times during racing. On Sunday morning, CaptainBlaney presented a seminar on the use of AED at Smuggler’s Cove.
“AEDs have been very effectivein saving people who have hadsudden cardiac arrest,” saidBlaney, who has trained and cer-tified hundreds of professionalmariners and recreationalboaters in First Aid, CPR (cardio-pulmonary recuscitation), andthe proper use of an AED.
Blaney Marine Safety has pro-vided safety training and loanerAEDs for the staff of Block IslandRace Week since 2007. For manyyears, they have been associat-ed with Emergency MedicalGroup of Norwalk, CT, distributorof the Phillips AED.

The 2009 Storm Trysail Club Race Week raffle will benefit the Block Island Rescue Squad andThe North Light. “For more than 40 years, Storm Trysail members, guest skippers, crews, andfamilies have descended upon Block Island and, essentially, taken it over for an entire week,”said Regatta Chairman and Storm Trysail Club Vice Commodore Eric Kreuter. “Block Island rec-ognizes the importance of tourism to its local economy and embraces the economic contribu-tions of Block Island Race Week. Conversely, we recognize the importance of Block Island to ourclub’s heritage and want to give something back.”
The Rescue Squad is the EMT service for the island. It is equipped with two ambulances andstaffed by volunteers. “Donations will help provide training programs to keep Emergency MedicalTechnicians up-to-date with thier certifications,” said Rescue Squad Captain Kate McConville.
The North Light, the lighthouse on the northern tip of the island, serves as a maritime muse-um. The North Light Commission continues to maintain the 1867 building and has been renovatingthe light for seven years. Just last week, the refurbished lantern was returned from the mainlandand installed. The association is looking to raise an additional $10,000 to put the lens, removedduring the 1970s, back in the lantern.
Tickets are $10 each, or a book of 10 tickets for $90, and can be purchased at the Duty Office(Tent behind the Oar) or all day and under the tent every night between 6 and 8pm. The grandprize again will be a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner timepiece with additional prizes suppliedby Mount Gay, Gill, vineyard vines, Heineken, Bitter End Yacht Club, Soundview Millworks,Lewmar and True Wind. The Storm Trysail Club expresses its appreciation to all the sponsorswho donated prizes for the raffle.
Thanks to the raffle and contributions at Race Week XXII in 2007, the Storm Trysail Club wasable to donate $20,000 to North Light Restoration, Block Island Early Learning Center, BlockIsland Rescue Squad and the Block Island Historical Society.
Winners will be drawn on Thursday at 7:30pm under the tent.

In addition to having their name engraved on the Island SailingClub of Cowes Perpetual Trophy, the winner of this week’s Roundthe Island Race will take home a spectacular Rolex OysterPerpetual Submariner timepiece.
In order to be eligible for this prize, your boat must have a US-IRCcertificate. If you own a One-Design of PHRF boat and you submit-ted an IRC certificate with your Race Week entry, you’ll automati-cally be included in the scoring for the Island Sailing Club ofCowes Trophy and the Rolex! The Round the Island Race winner in2007 was Bob & Farley Towse’s R/P 66 Blue Yankee (Stamford, CT).
Although any one of several very fast boats could win the Roundthe Island Race this week, the Race Committee strives to makethis contest as fair as possible for the entire fleet by groupingclasses together and starting from a single line at staggered inter-vals. The starting area will be approximately ½ mile west of theentrance to Great Salt Pond.
The Round the Island Race is planned for today and one thing iscertain: we’ll all be treated to the sight of the superfast “Zeroes”powering through the fleet.
