(Seabrook, Texas)- J/Fest Southwest Committee Chairman Al Goethe has
announced that Lakewood Yacht Club (LYC) will be hosting its 5th Annual
J/Fest Southwest Regatta on November 1st and 2nd. “We wanted to get a
‘save the date’ message out to racers now so that racers will be sure to
plan on participating in this superb event,” Goethe explained. The
regatta is open to the public and all races will be held on Galveston
Bay.J/Fest regattas have been held for at least 30 years in Annapolis, San Diego, San Francisco, New Orleans and Seattle. The focus of the J/Fest is to give J/Boat racers a chance to compete in one-design races. “Our J/Fest Southwest will be another great opportunity for Lakewood to promote and support a national caliber event,” added Goethe.
With the City of Seabrook again being the primary sponsor of the event, the overall theme of the J/Fest Southwest Regatta is to provide a venue that is all-inclusive to J/Boat owners, their family and friends. While the racers are on the water, their spouses and family can enjoy a myriad of activities and tourist attractions in and around the Bay Area Houston arena.
One design fleets slated for the J/Fest Southwest Regatta include J/22, J/24, J/70, J/80, J/105, and the J/109. It will be a circuit stop for the J/24, J/70, J/80, J/105 and J/109 classes. Race tracking will be available to the one-design classes and can be observed live on large screen TV’s in the clubhouse.
