Congratulations from the J/Family to
George David-- the real "rambling man"!
A former J/24 sailor from the 80s, George David, a New York YC member
now living in Hartford, CT, simply traded up over time and is now racing
RAMBLER 100, a Juan K 100 footer. Kudos to George and team for having
set a new Transatlantic Race record of 6:22:08:02 for the course from
Newport, Rhode Island to Lizard Point, South Cornwall, a measured
distance of 2,975 miles. That's a 15.67 knots average across the
Atlantic. That's amazing! It can be said with a straight face that
even J/24s can go that fast for 1/100th the price! LOL, perhaps not for
120+ hours!
