Be advised it only remains open for 2 weeks. Enjoy the new selections.

Thanks to the Generosity of Kimball & CJ, Sasha & I were able to join them on a reconnaissance mission to Sore Thumb. Here are the results:

At approximately 11:00 AM yesterday 7/17/2024 (near Low Tide) We approached the 1&2 offshore North of the FI buoy. We proceeded through them and the 3&4 in Six foot rollers with a 3-4 second period. (Not for the faint of heart!). As we approached the 4A Red the bottom came up quickly!  We turned west then south and re-approached from about 100 yards west.  (Waypoint:40°37.6130N-73°19.9661W). This put us in good water. We continued N heading to the west of Overlook beach building heading perpendicular to the shore until the next two Reds along the beach lined up with each other. We then proceeded east keeping the reds and the shore equidistant. As we came upon the green 5 buoy we kept it on our starboard side (counter intuitive but excellent water). From there we aimed for the Red 10 buoy off in the distance to keep us off the rubble on the port side.  When the rock wall at Sore Thumb was lined up with the big house, we turned north keeping close to the rocks in 19’ of water so as not to get swept into the bar to the east. The lowest we saw in a trough was 8.5 on the depth sounder which is mounted 1 foot below the waterline. Any questions, CALL me.

Thank you Bob T for taking time to write this. This information is invaluable. I put it here for convenient future reference.

Be advised: The Race & Vessel Info page has been updated to include a pull-down of PHRF information. You can check PHRF values for all boats with 2024 certs. A button to the application form is available on the page, along with a listing of all the MMSI numbers of our fleet. If your boat is not listed send your information to Jeremy for listing.

Finally there is a button that takes you to a Boat US online training course that meets New York State regulations. The course is free and done completely online.
