J/42 JAYWALKER Cruises Ugotta Regatta!
(Harbor Springs, MI)- Bill & Judy Stellin take 2nd in PHRF 5 at Ugotta Regatta in Harbor Springs, MI.
After sailing 32,000nm around the world, they still have not forgotten
how to make their J/42 JAYWALKER go fast around the tricky bay waters on
Lake Michigan! Word around town is that the real "wizard of Harbor
Springs" is that spry old guy named just "Bill", not "Dave". In other
words, making magical things happen with two-sails is far harder to do,
and in fact far more of an "art form" than having to sail with all the
laundry known to man that you can hang off an enormously tall rig.
Here’s Judy happily holding their “brag flag” for their fantastic
performance over the weekend regatta!
