(Seattle, WA)- J/Teams excelled in the light fickle conditions of this
years Foulweather Bluff Race, hosted by Corinthian YC Edmonds. On a
difficult, current-riddled, light air, sunny, Pacific Northwest fall day
the J crews showed once again that the Pacific Northwest is J/Boat
country!
Taking
first in 2 of the 9 classes and in true Sail Northwest fashion first's
was the place of the day for Mike Poole and crew on their just purchased
J/80 SKYE ROCKET. Hull #1 of this highly successful 26' sportboat on
it's first race with its 1st time boat owner taking first place in Fleet
4 and second overall! Well done SKYE ROCKET! Just behind SKYE ROCKET
in Fleet 4 was the J/30 BOB in second. Fleet 6 was topped by the J/105 LAST TANGE followed by the J/105 USAWI in second and the J/33 CORVO in fourth (Corvo is a brand new listing at Sail Northwest!).
The J/35 BERGEN VIKING took 2nd in Fleet 7, the J/35 SOLUTOIN took 5th in Fleet 8 and the J/145 JEDI took 5th in Fleet 10.
The J/120 HINZITE sailed home with 2nd in Fleet 9 and 4th overall in a class of high performance ultralights! Sailing Photo Credits- Jan Anderson Marine Photography
