J/125s Crush in Balboa-Cabo San Lucas Race

J/125 Warrior sailed by Dr. 
Laura Schlessinger in Cabo Race

WARRIOR, RESOLUTE Finish 1-2 Overall

(Coronado del Mar, CA- March 31)- Balboa Yacht Club’s 2010 Corona del Mar to Cabo Race started this past Friday and Saturday with a fleet of thirty six boats. All competitors were focusing on the extremely competitive Class D fleet with four J/125’s and three Farr 40’s racing one-design as well as for class and overall corrected time.  Their fears of getting blitzkrieged by this group were not unfounded.

The seven J's sailing the race were all highly competitive, mostly placing in both Class D and E.  In Class D, the four J/125s, WARRIOR, RESOLUTE, DERIVATIVE and REINRAG2 finished 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th in class and 1st, 2nd, 4th and 6th overall!

CONGRATULATIONS to all of you, great job Dr. Laura- owner/skipper of WARRIOR!

To give  you an idea how competitive it was, REINRAG2 has won or placed in several TRANSPACs and is an extremely well sailed boat.  We bet that Jim Madden wished he'd brought his J/125 STARK RAVING MAD into the fray to have some fun class racing!  Just off the furious pace set by the J/125s in Class D were the two J/133s, PICANTE and TANGO.  In Class E, the J/120 ADIOS sailed a good race to post a third class and 26th overall.    For more information:  http://www.balboayachtclub.com/
