(Houston, TX)- Lakewood YC on Galveston Bay in southern Texas along the
Gulf of Mexico is again hosting the Third Annual J/Fest Southwest. Open
to all J/Owners, the focus of the J/Fest Southwest Regatta is to
provide a Regatta venue that is extra fun for J/Boat owners, their
family, and friends. While the racers are on the water, their spouses,
children, family, and friends can enjoy a myriad of activities and
tourist attractions in the Bay Area. Goodie bags for skippers will
contain coupons for family fun.
One design fleets slated for the J/Fest Southwest Regatta include J/22,
J/24, J/80, J/105 and the J/109’s. It will be a circuit stop for the
J/22’s and the J/24’s. All J/Boats are welcome to race in the PHRF
classes and in the J/Cruise class. Any J/Boat is eligible to
participate, and the regatta organizers intend to offer several exciting
formats for the non One Design racers. This year we expect to see a
couple of hot J/70’s flying around as well! For more J/Fest SW sailing information
