Champion sailor Nevin Sayre of Vineyard Haven notched a new record Friday when he became the first person to wing-foil around Martha’s Vineyard.

Antonio Salguero first visited Vineyard Haven as a child in the late 1970s. At the time, his uncle Ross Gannon was a young local carpenter.

During the great age of yachting, in the early part of the 20th century, the premier ocean race, where boats and their crews were tested on a stage that was covered on front pages of newspapers all over the country, was the Newport to Bermuda Race.

Sailing is for everyone.

For many years, the famous American flag sail was carried by the catboat Tigress, captained and chartered by Kurt Peterson. This summer, the sail is still blowing across the harbor — this time atop his catboat Dolphin.

A few weeks ago, in the parking lot at the Tisbury Wharf Company on Beach Road in Vineyard Haven, Ishmael, the 41-foot schooner, rested out of the water on blocks.
