SHIELDS FLEET ONE

Shields Fleet #1 is one of the most active Shields fleets in the country. The fleet is the most active one-design fleet in western Long Island Sound. The racing season begins Memorial Day weekend and continues through Columbus day weekend, with most races on Saturdays and occasionally on Sundays. The warning gun for the first start is not until 2:25pm facilitating family time and other activities in the morning. And, of course, the late afternoon warning gun conveniently coincides with the arrival of the afternoon sea breeze.
