Sunday, October 5, 2025, Fall Chowder Series at Thames Yacht Club - Third Race
On a beautiful fall day, the Thames Yacht Club held the third race of their Chowder Series. The winds were light and out of the south, and with the bright sun and 80 degree weather it couldn’t have been a better start to the month’s racing.
Unfortunately, due to some personal commitments, only three Ensigns (Swoose, Teamwork, and Triton) were able to compete. The race committee set a windward course to the mouth of the river with the ebbing tide, followed by a downwind leg against the current, and a short windward leg to the finish.

Sunday, September 28, 2025 - Fall Chowder Series at Thames Yacht Club - Second Race.
The second Thames Yacht Club Chowder Series race was held on Sunday, September 28th with a predicted wind of 9 knots out of the Southwest. Although the wind at the starting line was only 6 knots, the Race Committee set a course to venture twice out into Long Island Sound. The skewed and long starting line gave you a choice of the favored end at the committee boat or where there was higher wind.

This year’s Chowder Series has a slight twist from last year, where each weekend a different competitor’s chowder will be featured. Not sure if by the last race, on October 26th, the sailors will be pursuing bragging rights on the water, or which team featured the finest tasting and best style chowder.
