Liv and Tasha set up on March 18th


M1sha Dallin has offered her land in Dex as the new site for the yacht club and it faces protected water to the south on the mainland which offers amazing opportunities both to racing and cursing. We are doubly excited because M1sha is such an important part of the Tradewinds family

The Long Awaited Flying Fizz 3.0 Released

Fizz 3 Presentation by Mothgirl Dibou

First fizz 3 race at WYC - Prestart


First fizz 3 race at WYC - Start - Takeshi Shnyder leading the pack




Massy Johin wins first Fizz 3 race



Mark this date, Friday March 13th, 2009, a date that will be important to history as on this date Mothgirl's Flying Fizz 3.0 was released to the public and most appropriately to the community of sailing racers that are the most active in SL at the moment -- our Japanese bothers and sisters. The boat was unveiled at Waypoint yacht Club.

Directly after Mothgirl Dibou's presentation (all in Japanese, boat builders sometimes turn out to have some hidden talents ) Taku Raymaker hosted the first Fizz 3 races.
Massy Johin confidently won race 1, beating the rising star of Fizzing for the last 2 months, Miwha Masala, on the line. Toraba Magic followed them at a short distance.

In race 2 Massy showed this first win was not just a lucky one and we may hear more from him: he decisively beat the fleet by more than a full minute. Miwha was 2nd again, Yuu Nakamichi 3rd.
