The Holmes Hole Sailing Association’s summer season of handicap racing from Vineyard Haven harbor continued Thursday night, July 1, a beautiful evening with a pleasant 5 to 10 knots of west-southwest wind. Fourteen boats posted for the 6 p.m. start at red nun 6. The course took the fleet to nun 4 at West Chop, then to green can 23a at East Chop and back to nun 6. The first leg was a broad reach on the port tack. After rounding the nun, a run downwind ensued, with the close reach on the starboard tack for the final leg to the finish.
