J/Fest San Francisco
J Fest 2007 returned to St. Francis Yacht Club with 50 J's participating in fantastic racing. As expected, the St. Francis Yacht Club Race Committee upheld their high standard of race management and ran five races over the two day period. Congratulations to the winners: Steve Madeira and crew on the J/120 MR MAGOO, Tim Russell and crew sailing AQUAVIT to victory in the very competitive 27 boat J/105 fleet, and Edward Walker and crew aboard the J 24 CASUAL CONTACT who finished with a perfect score. The parties were as much fun as the racing thanks to J/Fest sponsors Longboard Vineyards, West Marine, North Sails, Ullman Sails, B&G Electronics, Hall Spars, Sail Magazine, Trident Funding and Sail California.
