(Rye, New York)- The first of the new J/97s arrived this summer to race
on the Long Island Sound sailing circuit. After several events, the
J/97 proved herself capable to deliver on the promise of a fun, fast,
family-friendly cruiser racer-- equally adept at handling the demanding
needs of the family weekender as well as being competitive offshore.
The J/97 has proven itself in Europe having won IRC class in SPI OUEST
France off La Trinite sur Mer, France; Scottish Race Week off Tarbert,
Scotland; Cowes Sailing Week off Cowes, Isle of Wight, England; both
Hamble Winter Series and Warsash Spring Series on the Solent, England;
as well as countless offshore races during the RORC sailing season.
Like her counterparts in Europe, the J/97 on Long Island Sound has
demonstrated she is quite capable of winning PHRF Handicap as well.
