After you've had a chance to "whet your whistle" and fantasize about the newest and latest J's to fly across Bay waters, the following week will see the San Francisco J/Fest taking place from April 20-21st at St Francis YC. Classes invited to the event include the debut of the J/70s alongside the traditional local fleets of J/105s, J/120s and even J/24s. All the action will take place right next to where all the crazy America's Cup action is happening between Alcatraz Island and the Golden Gate Bridge, you'll see guys in designer space-suits flying on foils with monster wings adorned in gaudy sponsor graphics-- yeah, looks like NASCAR speedway on the water.
