Black Seal J/Fun Fest

Mad Dogs Eat Everyone For Lunch

(Sag Harbor, NY- 5-6 June)- Breakwater YC in Sag Harbor, NY, way, way out on the end of Long Island played host to yet another fun-loving, easy-going, start for the summer sailing season for the eastern end of Long Island Sound.  A strong fleet of J/109s and J/105s competed for a case of Gosling's Black Seal Rum and other fun prizes.

In the J/109 one-design class, it was the MAD DOGS team with Adrian Begley as their alpha dog leading them to a 1-1-4-2-5 series to just win by one point over David Jannetti's able crew on JIBBER JABBER with a 3-4-1-6-1 record.  Just behind them only one point further back (no margin for error here!) was Jim Vos' crew on SKOOT.  Greg Ames and his team on GOSSIP were fourth and Donald Fillpelli on CAMINOS was fifth.

The J/105s saw Wayne Morse on ROXANNE win with a 1-1-2-1-2 record over Bruce Tait's BUCKAROO with a 2-2-4-2-1 score.  Lying third was Sedgwick Ward's MAMBO.  For more Sprit Fest Regatta sailing information.
