| The
J/24 spring cup was a held last weekend the 9th and 10th.It
was deemed a huge success by all. Thirty sailors on six boats
battled through nine races in various conditions. Saturday saw
seven races held with a short break after race three for soup
and sandwiches. |

The races where held in front of
the club and involved a windward leeward course involving two
beats and two runs. Due to the shortness of each race racing
was close and exciting. Newcomer jaywalker provided increasing
stiff competition for the exciting j’s especially javelin.
Jaws, Jester and Sydney frequently changed position through
out the seven races. But Jeb Stuarts team ruled strongest with
five firsts out of seven. Sunday saw two longer traditional
races sailed on the main lake. Jester sailed very well and pushed
Jeb all the way around the course. But Jeb managed to hold out
and win both of the races on Sunday. Many thanks to the OD Christine
Mannion and her helpers and Mai Mannion for the food on Saturday. |
