J/24 Sailing at Greenwich Flying Squadron- Australia

From our J sailing community Down Under, we recently got a nice note from Mark Rhodes in Sydney Harbour.  Mark commented, "I have owned my J/24, JAYTRIPPER (seen right under shadow of Sydney Harbour Bridge), for almost 17 years and have enjoyed every minute of it. We race with Greenwich Flying Squadron, a great little boatshed nestled into a little bay west of Sydney Harbour Bridge. If you are curious have a look at our website http://www.gfs.org.au and check out our gallery for photos and Youtube videos.

You will see our J/24s racing in White Division on Wednesday twilights. As well as a handicap series the J/24s have their own trophy based on scratch results so the 8 boats can also enjoy one design competition.  We also have two J/122s and a J/35 in Blue Division and a J/80 in Yellow. I think we also have a J/92s that races occasionally.  Thanks again for a great newsletter, Regards, Mark Rhodes".
