J/105 Flying "The Flag" in Portland
* Doug- J/105 Portland, Oregon owner- Back in 2003, we hosted the J/24 Western Regionals in the Columbia Gorge, that was a scream! You guys (J/Boats) sponsored with some swag, and THE FLAG. Now, having a ball on the J/105, and being very well received as the first one in Portland, OR. Putting "the flag" to good use... Thought you might enjoy. Great boat, thanks for your support. Looking forward to finishing up this Fall, and campaigning hard in the Pacific NW next year. Cheers, Doug- sailing the J/105 #519 - "Free Bowl of Soup", named after my previous J/24!!
