(Detroit, MI)- On the famous lake renowned more for motorboat chop than sailing-- Lake
St Claire-- has to be one of the world's more challenging places to
sail because of it. The J/120 teams sure have a great time sailing out
of Grosse Pointe YC and Bayview YC.
Former BYC Commodore Frank Kern's CARINTHIA is a long time fleet leader
in the area. Frank sent us along this YouTube video of their fleet
sailing a recent beer-can race. Fun stuff. Said Frank about the J/120s
in the area, "Here's a nice video of the Detroit J/120s sailing a
Wednesday night race last September. Thought your J/News readers might
appreciate this." Watch it here, the last part is particularly good!
