J/92 JOUSTS Sydney Regatta

J/92s sailing off Sydney, Australia in Audi Sydney Regatta(Sydney, Australia- March 5-6)- Hot off the wires, we got a note from Ray Entwistle from Sydney regards the recent success of the J/92s JOUST sailing in the Audi Sydney Harbour Regatta:  "A delighted Nigel Smyth and family, owners of JOUST, a J/92s sailing out of Middle Harbour Yacht Club on Sydney Harbour, proved once again just how easy J/Boats are to sail. Taking a break from full-on racing crew and regattas and due to very little regular spinnaker racing over the last year, Nigel entered JOUST in the PHS white sails fleet in the Audi Regatta over the weekend of 5th - 6th March.  Sailing with family (his wife, son, sister, nephew) and a couple of friends, he won Class 2 of the PHS white sail fleet.  JOUST were first across the line in every race but under PHS scored a 1st, 7th, 2nd and 3rd.   They didn’t win the Audi car on Monday but had a great weekend and JOUST performed perfectly in the weekend’s varied conditions.
