(Naples, FL)- Over the past few weeks, the J/70 has been sailing in
Chicago and Florida. In the Chicago area, Richie Stearns and the
SAIL-22 crew (Ed & Becky Furry) have been sailing up and down the
Chicago waterfront and soon all around the Midwest. Recently, Richie,
Lori and Ed "shadowed"the 35nm Chicago-Waukegan Race in a light-medium
air southeasterly sailing up the lake from the Belmont Harbor starting
line off the spectacular Chicago city-front north along the coast to
Waukegan, Illinois. The speeds and experiences surprised the trio on
the J/70 as well as those who saw them sail with them (much, much bigger
boats)-- they pacing with many 35-40 foot racing boats! If you're in
the greater Chicago region, please be sure to contact Richie Stearns at
847-404-2209 or

Meanwhile, down in Florida, Craig Crossley and crew have been making a
circuit around Naples, Fort Myers, St Petersburg/ Tampa/ Clearwater on
the West Coast and soon on the East Coast. Be sure to contact Craig
directly at 401-330-6135 or
craig.crossley@gmail.com for a demo sail in Florida. For
