J/105 MAYHEM Repeat Winners
(Bermuda- Nov. 22nd)- The Bacardi National Keelboat Championship was
completed this past weekend for the J/105 class. The Royal Bermuda Yacht
Club was the host club for the annual Bermuda Sailing Association (BSA)
event. Winds eased throughout the day on Saturday forcing the sailors
to continue to change gears and adjust equipment to deal with the
constantly changing conditions. Defending National Champion Jon Corless
and the crew of MAYHEM prevailed by a slim margin and were re-crowned
National Champions. Sailing with Corless were Jen Quinn, Rebecca
Roberts, Craig Scott, Jeff Roach and Jordan Smith. All six of Bermuda's
fleet of J/105s made it out to the Great Sound. MAYHEM edged out her
nearest rivals by two points, leaving a tie-breaker to determine second
place. James Macdonald's PASSION ended up taking second while Chuck
Millican and his crew onboard ELUSIVE were third. For more J/105 Bermuda Fleet sailing information.
