(Seattle, WA)- An update from Bob Ross
- "The J/70 crew had a great time. They won almost every start and in
the light and fluky winds and were still to the top mark in the top
three every race. Downwind they struggled against the more powered up
boats. Except for Monday the wind never got above 8 knots. Check out
the size difference between the Rocket 22 & J/70. And then there
was the Dart with a favorable PHRF rating. The Dart was sailing with
the crew hiked out to keep the boat flat in 7 kts TWS while the J/70 had
one crew to leeward. If there was 10 kts TWS or higher the J/70 would
have dominated her class. The three J/80s in the class were 4th , 7th
and 9th.
