On April 25, 2026 the Dry Pants Model Yacht Club hosted the 2026 DF 95 New England Spring Points Regatta. 24 Sailors from four New England states traveled to Plattwood Park, Deep River, CT. As expected, long range weather predictions produced a chilled spring day, the wind favoring a shifty and challenging direction enhancing the enjoyment and fun. The race committee altered courses which when combined with winds tested and challenged everyone’s sailing skill. Most races featured several lead changes, rapid fleet position fluctuations and multiple boats finishing overlapped. “The Pond” once again provided evidence of its ability to humble or enhance one’s sailing ability. 16 races were completed with an additional 2 races not scored as a result of exceptional close finishes and everyone was able to experience more than one intense, exciting race and finish. Eric Arndt first, Tommy Henshaw second, Michael Campbell third, Bob Shluger forth, and William Shaw fifth.
