(Newport, RI)- The weather Gods have continued to provide incredible sailing conditions for the sea-trials of the new J/70 Speedster in Rhode Island. After launching J/70 #1 last Monday, March 12th, it was time
to
launch J/70 #2 this past Tuesday, March 20th. Both boats gently slid
off their trailers into the ocean waters off the Bristol boat ramp and
shortly after were sailing on upper Narragansett Bay in a building
southwesterly. 
By
day’s end both boats were flying across the Bay at 12-15 kts with Team
North and Team Quantum scoping out the new speedster. Overnight, some
sail tweaks were done, and the boats were back out yesterday in similar
12-18 knot conditions. Sailing trials continue over the next several
days as more sailmakers arrive. The plan is to lock in the class sail
sizes by the end of next week. Take a peek at some more sailing shots
on the website! For more J/70 Speedster sailing information
