WINGS Wins SDYC J/105 One-Design Weekend
(San Diego, CA)- Over the Valentines Day Weekend, San Diego YC held
their one-design weekend for J/105s and other classes. A very
competitive fleet of J/105s turned out for the event. While the Cases
were not sailing their boat, Jim Dorsey took over WINGS and simply
dominated the fleet with straight bullets for a total of 3 points!
Second was hard-charging Chuck Driscoll on BLOW BOAT getting an equally
impressive record of three 2nds for 6 points. However, behind these two
was a real battle for third place. Going into the last race it was wide
open for the top five. Getting the better of the group was Mark
Mitchell on STRAIGHT EDGE with a 7-4-3 record for 14 points to grab
third overall. Lying fourth after the fight was Rick Goebel on SANITY
with a 3-6-9 record for 18 points and fifth was the Majemik/ O'Connell
team on SPEEDPLAY with a 6-9-4 record for 19 points! Close racing for
this pack. For more San Diego YC sailing results.
