By Aurora “Rory” Meunier MottPhotos by the author and Erica LushWho knew that a meeting over coffee would lead to a plane ticket to France? At the end of December 2024, I was invited to a breakfast meet and greet with my friend Ellie Menezes (with whom I’ve been sailing for about five years), Joe Cooper (my Prout Sailing coach) and shorthanded offshore racer Erica Lush. I’d heard of Erica and wanted to know a bit more about what she does as a sailor.

Well April was busy, just like we said it would be. CT Spring Boat Show was a blast despite a typical spring mix of sun, rain, breeze on and decent 60s temps. The Annapolis Spring Sailboat Show had much of the same. But with that all out of the way, it’s time to get serious about the prep-and-go time of year!This is a Marion Bermuda Race year as well as Storm Trysail Club Block Island Race Week for you big boat sailors, but there are a host of events happening between now and June.

For 2025, Edgartown Race Weekend will say goodbye to its two-day, ’Round-the-Sound Races of recent years and hello to a fresh new focus on its centerpiece ’Round-the-Island Race (’RTI), which will be 88 years old when it begins on Saturday, June 21. Although it’s one of yacht racing’s oldest distance events, the 55-mile circumnavigation of Martha’s Vineyard is anything but staid, thanks to host Edgartown Yacht Club (EYC).
