I want to welcome back all sailors to our upcoming sall season sailing tryouts which will be coming up soon. Anyone interested please contact me at 631 7510411. We will have our beautifully prepared 420 sailboats standing by.

Lets hope for sunny weather and a good breeze !

See you then,

New York State Regatta

Trevor, Philippe (myself) and Rachel relaxing after the last heat

This past Saturday (May 18th 2013)was a great day of sailing. Thanks to Captain Linzee's skillful negotiations, we were able to form a composite team with Pierson and East Hampton high school. The morning sailing proved to be quite a challenge, as the weather was fickle and the wind was all over the place. At one point, Trevor and myself experienced a 180 degree wind shift in a matter of 20 seconds!

After a long day of sailing, the ThreeVillage/Pierson/E.Hampton composite team placed a respectable 9th overall out of 16 teams. Can't wait for next season!

Port Jefferson Maritime Festival

What perfect weather ! Sunshine and a warm Spring breeze brought thousands of spectators to the annual Port Jefferson Maritime Festival. Of course we took this as a great opportunity to advertise and promote our Three Village Sailing Team. Myself, my brother Victor, Trevor Munch (who took the great photos) and several other members of our growing sailing club were present to answer questions, show people our cool 420 sailboats and provide on the water sailing demos.

As proactive as it was it made us realize that alhttp://www.aeroyacht.com/contact-us/ot of work needs to be done to get the right information to the right people. Hey, its a start !

Oyster bay regatta : WFC

Today was one of these days where wind and current were opposed. Conditions in Oyster Bay were very difficult and me and my partner Trevor had a hard time coordinating windshifts. Gusty winds, sunny weather and great quality 420's made it all worth it. Thank god we had dry-suits as our hands were getting soaked...

The 3Vilage Sailing Team consisted of:

First Spring Regatta of 2013 - at SUNY Maritime

The NYISA-SE was to be held on April 6 2013 at the SUNY Maritime College Waterfront Center in the Bronx, NY. The weather started off cold with brisk and gusty winds and Victor was having worrying thoughts of how to keep the boat upright with Rachel, his crew member on the 420.

14 teams from all over the NE showed up to this event and the conditions were very challenging. The winds subsided and became oscillating and patchy. The strong outgoing current of the East river forced many boats to stay close to shore, where the winds were even lighter.

At the end of the day, everyone had a great time and Capt. George Linzee with the help of my dad - who also serves as our Three Village Team coach, made this first Spring regatta a great experience.

Our team entered 2 skippers: myself (Philippe Tarjan) and my brother, Victor Tarjan
The 2 crew members were Rachel Rothstein and Trevor Munch.

New Orleans 420 Nationals

While looking out at the ice covered harbor we are thinking back of the fun we had at the Nationals in New Orleans. Over 20 interscholastic sailing teams from all over the country were present and the boats were awesome. 

On the second day the winds were gusting well over 20 knots and it was pure survival and tons of fun. Everyone was friendly and helpful and the 3 Village sailors (myself and Trevor Munch - my trusty crew) met our buddies from the Stony Brook School and their great coach Capt. George Linzee. He must be the most passionate sailor (other than my dad) that I know.

We did great for our first major regatta. We even had a couple of  2nd places in some heats and came in 7th overall. A great experience !

Last Days of the 2012 Season

It was starting to get cold and windy as the last days of the 2012 season came to an end. We made some new friends and bumped into some old ones. In our last training sessions with the Stony Brook School 420's and coaches (and my dad, who is our coach) we learned how to nail the starts and cross the starting line at full speed - no matter of the wind conditions. We are looking forward to the Spring Season. My brother Victor will be sailing as well. It will be great to compete against him on the water.

Here is Trevor and me taking a break.
