(Fishers Island, New York)- While the CYC Round Island race may be the grand-daddy of all the local
round island events in New England, the Fishers Island version is rapidly growing in
popularity. Eighty-three boats this year! And, twenty of them were J
teams!The local J/70 teams showed up en masse with the largest single fleet. John Brim’s RIMETTE won class followed by the Flack Family (Brandon, Cindy, Lily & Dylan) racing machine- the mighty TORQEEDO in 2nd! Finishing 3rd was Clem Wood’s HONEY PI, then 4th was John Johnstone’s RAGTIME and 5th was Will Lennon’s FREEDOM.
Sailing away with a huge class win in the PHRF Non-Spin division was David Kelly’s J/27 MAST TRANSIT 2! In the PHRF Spin Foxtrot division, the “baby J’s” were no match for their competition. Taking 2nd was Henry Maxwell’s J/24 SWISS CHEESE, 3rd was Scott Loweth’s J/22 THUNDER CHICKEN and 4th was Bill Mortenson’s J/24 WUNDER DOG.
Then, in PHRF Spin Tango division, 3rd place went to Prescott Littlefield’s J/29 ZIG ZAG ZOOM. For PHRF Spin Golf division, the silver was awarded to Steve Marenakos’ J/105 RECKLESS. Finally, in the “big boat” PHRF Spin Romeo division, taking 4th position was Jim Ohlheiser’s J/109 BALANCE. For more Fishers Island YC Round Island race sailing information
