(Canandaigua, NY)- Canandaigua Yacht Club is a member owned sailing club located on Canandaigua Lake in the beautiful Finger Lakes Region of New York State-- it's dedicated to sailing, sailboat racing and social activities for its members. This year CYC hosted the 22nd Annual Spring Invitational Regatta which is open to all J-24 class boats. Participants came from all over the Eastern USA and Canada. Can you say "partaayyy?" The CYC always hosts a fantastic event and along with their fall counter-part on Lake George, it's hard to imagine what's not to like about sailing in the spring or fall on some of New York's gorgeous mountain lakes (though the mountains may not be as big as these shown here).
This year, the J-Daze Regatta saw a venerable J/24 class champion show back up after years of enforced self-retirement from the racing game. After a great showing in the Charleston Race Week event, Mike Ingham on BRAIN CRAMP showed he was no fluke and managed to sail to a strong 2-4-3-3-2-1-1 scoreline for 16 points to win the regatta by nearly 20 points! Second was the Reynolds team on OKIE-BOATING sailing to a 1-8-8-1-9-5-4 score for 36 pts. Third was the Merchant crew on WITCH WAY with a tally of 6-10-2-11-3-12-2 roller-coaster point total of 46 pts. For more J-Daze Regatta sailing information.
