(Tampa, Florida)- After hosting the three event J/70 Winter Series,
the Davis Island YC continues to roll out the red carpet for J sailors
this coming weekend. From February 20-22nd, the DIYC will be hosting
the J/24 Midwinters for a solid fleet of twenty-seven boats on Tampa
Bay.A number of new faces continue to surface in this venerable class as well as many class veterans will be participating. The teams will be getting a workout in light air speed and tactics as the current forecast shows NE breezes swinging SE with winds ranging from 4 to 8 kts all weekend.
A number of local hotshots will be on the starting line, including Robby Brown’s USA 799 and John Poulson’s LONG SHOT. Current J/24 World Champion Will Welles’ COUGAR will be hoping to add another feather in their cap; working hard to displace them will be a long-time arch nemesis, Travis Odenbach’s HONEY BADGER.
