Privateer Ocean Racing

Goodbye to you all and hello to the new owners Chris, Trevor and Chip Kah - congratulations and best of luck with your racing endeavors! Thank you to everyone who followed Privateer's shinanigins during my brief ownership of the boat. We certainly had some good times. Best, Jonathan Green

Turns out I'll be on St Maarten for the Heineken Regatta in early March. Anyone racing or know a boat looking for crew?

I'm giving a talk on shorthanded sailing in Marblehead in a couple weeks that's open to the public. We'll be covering topics relevant to both racers and cruisers. Please join us!

Happy New Year! Looking forward to Atlantic Cup in June. The boat will launch at the end of February with intense training March thru May.

Home sweet home

Thanks Becca - brilliant result for a hard night of racing! The Downeast Challenge drew an amazing 11 shorthanded entries, far more than any other shorthanded division I've seen in Mass Bay since I started doing this 14 years ago. Thank you Marblehead Yacht Club for hosting a great race!

Thank you North Sails!

Class 40 Privateer Takes Overall Bermuda 1-2 Victory | North Sails Owner Jonathan Green credits North Sails for great sail design and durability, which helped him win this unique shorthanded offshore race.

Thank you Farr for designing such a fun, competitive boat!

Tomorrow is the start of Bermuda 1-2, a 635nm solo race from Newport to Bermuda, followed by a double handed race back to Newport. Privateer is competing against 5 other Class 40s so we're expecting an interesting race. There are several ways to follow along:
