Thank you everyone for attending this years J24 District One Championship. Twenty four enthusiastic J24s braved cold water, fog and wind this past weekend. Strong east winds on Saturday provided for one race in with great visibility until the first downwind leg when the fog came. An interesting swapping of places and scrambling of crews took place for the first leeward gate of the regatta. Jeff Dinse from Rockland, Maine with plenty of fog experience was able to find the gates just fine and win the first race by a leg. A second race was attempted but the fog was just too thick.
Sunday proved to be the better day with a west north west wind ranging from 10 to 18 knots. Four races were held in perfect J24 racing conditions. Bad Apple skippered by Bruce Morse from Fleet 43 in Falmouth, Maine came out strong posting two bullets. However, with very tight competition and spread out racing, consistency was the name of the game.
The team sailing Evil Donut skippered by John Mollicone proved to be the most consistent posting no finish worse than a fifth which was their drop race. Evil Donut won the regatta 5 points ahead of second place.
Evil Donut is from Rhode Island just over the J24 District One line so although they won the event they were not eligible for the D-1 trophy. The next three boats were all eligible and included High Five skippered by Matt Herbster from Massachusetts, AL skippered by Carter White and Mark Klein from Maine and the aforementioned Bad Apple. After the throw outs were calculated High Five came out on top with 15 points, Bad Apple posted 16 and AL came in fourth overall with 17 points.
This regatta wasn’t all about winning prizes for racing, as there were many raffle prizes provided by our sponsors. The following boats won items in the raffle; Spontaneous won cigars, Pit Party won a set of halyards from Yale Cordage, High Five won a set of sheets from Yale Cordage, AL won a two night stay to the Hilton Garden Inn in Portsmouth, NH and $100.00 gift certificate to the Fox Run Mall and finally Mr. Hankey won 50% off a Quantum Sail.
Thank you to all the sponsors who made this event possible. Please purchase their goods and services as they have supported our sport and event. Use the links on our website or this email to get more information anytime.
We hope to make this an annual event so please provide your feedback by following the survey link in the upper right of this email. Thank you all again and I look forward to seeing you out on the water again soon.
Sincerely,
Rob Pruyn
