Light air, start and stop conditions (and some very hot sun) were the rule for the first weekend of the two part AYC Spring Series in Rye, NY. on Western Long Island Sound. J/Boats are literally everywhere on both courses. One design appearances include the J/105, J/109, J/122, and J/44 classes, with four J/120s and two J/133s in IRC Div 3. George Petrides, with his newly -modified for IRC- J/120 'AVRA' is in the lead by one point after four races. New J/100 owner Joe Matteo bounced back quickly from a 7th in race #1 of the series to 2nd overall after 4 races in PHRF division 4. Other J's in attendance include another J/100, J/29, J/35, and even the J/80. Results & Info.
