(Dallas, TX)- The 2011 J/24 US Nationals are being held in Dallas, Texas and hosted by the Dallas Corinthian YC. It will be fun, challenging lake sailing with weather largely driven by frontal systems and gradient winds (no such thing as a thermal here). The 25 registered competitors will be treated like kings by their Texas hosts, DCYC is renowned for their excellent race management and even better social events ashore! A very competitive fleet is assembling for this Nationals, including last year's winner Pat Toole from Santa Barbara YC sailing THREE BIG DOGS. Giving them a run for the roses will be top Mexican J/24 sailor Jorge Murrieta from Cantiere Navale Valle Bravo, that gorgeous lake in the mountains west of Mexico City. Also sure to factor into the leader board will be Chip Till racing Murder Inc/Team Layline from North Carolina; current J/24 World Champion from Brazil, Mauricio Santa Cruz who recently won the Trofeo Accademia Navale in Livorno, Italy; and Chris Jankowski on STREET LEGAL fresh from two good performances in STS Charleston Race Week and STS Annapolis NOOD, amongst others.
