(Alicante, Spain)- Charlie Enright and Team ALVIMEDICA Wins Volvo Ocean Race Inshore #1!! If you recall, Charlie Enright sailed J/24s forever in the Newport J/24 Fleet #50 and
was a champion competitor. Fast forward to today, Charlie raced a TP52
in the Transpac Race in the Roy Disney-made movie called MORNING
LIGHT. Incredibly, in their first official race in the 2014-2015 Volvo
Ocean Race, Charlie and crew won the around-the-buoys 
contest! Shades of J/24 days, eh?!! Congratulations to their team (that also includes Newport locals Amory Ross and Nick Dana)
and the J/Boats family wish them well. Also sailing fast was J/80
superstar sailor from Spain, Iker Martinez (a J/80 Spanish Champion)!The start on Saturday, October 11th, will occur at 0730 hrs Newport time (East Coast)- the host for Newporters for this epic occasion is the Newport Yacht Club.
