Fruition continues to actively race in the Venice, Sarasota Bay and
Tampa Bay area. She is still fast, despite her age, her shorter 6' 6"
keel and her dependable 1984 Hood racing mainsail. New
engine, new asymmetrical spinnaker same old(er) scurvy crew! These
boats were made to last!
When we moved from MA to FL there was a
local racing fleet that called Fruition out of retirement. We have
Fruition as one of the fastest "racer/cruiser" in the Sarasota area. We go up to Davis Island Yacht Club at the head of Tampa Bay to
race with the top dogs in the racer/cruiser category and have always
been at the podium to the chagrin of the local hot shots.
Recently, Fruition
won the 2022 Sarasota Bay "Boat of the Year" competition in her class
and is now in first place for the 2023 competition with only the Venice
to Key West Regatta remaining (in which she placed 3rd last year).
