(Holland, MI)- An update from the J/100 SHEK O- Skipper/owner Al Wilson from Holland, Michigan
had this to say about the Queens Cup and other events he's sailed with
his avidly campaigned J/100- "Our J/100 has been very successful in
"offshore" races on Lake Michigan placing in the top three in section in
14 of 15 races we have entered since purchasing the boat new in 2006.
The Tripp Cup, Queen's Cup, and Clipper Cup are cross lake events of
67+nm while the Anchorage Cup is a down the east side of the lake race.
Also, The Tripp and Queen's are overnight events.We have found our "day sailor" responds very well to lots of weight on the rail along with a Code 0 or A2 kite. When round-ups do occasionally occur, the boat turns up with a very mild action and control is quickly regained. We normally race with a crew of seven. We simply LOVE this boat!"
