(Larchmont, NY)- This weekend Larchmont YC is hosting the J/80 North
American Championship from September 28th to October 2nd. Twenty-seven
teams from across the country are sailing in what may be one of the most
competitive J/80 fleets assembled in awhile. While the recent J/80
Worlds in both Newport, RI and Copenhagen, Denmark were tough fleets
with upwards of seventy boats, this shoot-out on Long Island Sound will
have four J/80 World Champions, five J/80 North American Champions and
several Key West Race Week Champions across multiple classes- J/80s,
J/105s and PHRF! That's what one might call a "stacked deck"!Expect to see amongst the leader-board teams like Kerry Klingler (NA and World Champion) from Long Island, NY; John Storck sailing RUMOR (Key West and 2010 NA's winner) from Long Island, NY; Glenn Darden/ Reese Hillard sailing LE TIGRE (Key West, NA's and World Champions) from Fort Worth, TX; Brian Keane skippering SAVASANA (Key West J/105 Champion) from Buzzards Bay; Curt Johnson helming AVET (J/80 Pacific Coast Champion) from Los Angeles, CA; Gary Kamins/ Jay Lutz sailing FIRED UP (Key West, Worlds and NA Champions) from Houston, TX/ Los Angeles, CA; and Bruno Pasquinelli skippering TIAMO (NA and Buzzards Bay Champion) from Houston, TX.
