J/22 Northeast Regional Championship

Doyle's MO'MONEY Cashes In!
(Lake George Club- Sept. 26-27)-  As has been the case for a number of years, the Lake George Club have been incredibly gracious hosts at a remarkably beautiful venue- Lake George in upstate New York.  Heck, how can you beat sailing on fresh water, nice breeze, spectacular mountain scenery and early fall foliage?   This year's regatta, away from the beaten path for sure, attracted more boats (thirty five) than either the J/22 Midwinter or J22 East Coast Championship this year. So, J/22 one design sailing is alive and well in upstate New York.

Showing that he' s not lost his touch at all racing J/22s was Kevin Doyle and his merry bandits (Vic and Aaron Snyder) aboard MO'MONEY.  They sailed a nice regatta to overcome any last minute challenges from Mark Sertl's MONEY FOR NOTHING.  Third overall was Tom Sitzmann's LOYAL 9, followed in fourth by Jon Hoffer's NUTHA'SHIFF and Peter Doyle's FROSTY.
