(San Francisco, CA)- The famous Farallones Islands Race, the often
brutal 58nm course that goes from inside San Francisco Bay, out around
the Farallones Island to port and back to the finish line on the San
Francisco city waterfront saw some great performances by J/Crews this
past weekend. This year there were seventy keelboat teams
participating, fifteen of which were J/crews (21% of the fleet)! In the twelve-boat Doublehanded Class, sweeping the top two spots were Sean & Jeff Mulvihill’s J/120 JAMANI in first place, followed by David Morris and Neal Barth’s J/90 RAGTIME in second place!
In the large PHRF 2 Class, a fully-crewed division, it was Doug Bailey’s J/105 AKULA that placed 2nd, with crew of Caspian Bailey, Lyndon Bailey, Collin Breakstone, Les Yamamoto, and Roberto Giramonti. Then, in PHRF 1 Class, taking 8th was Tracy Rogers’ J/120 HOKULANI and in 10th was Graham Ellis’ J/124 ALBION. For more Farallones Race sailing information Add to Flipboard Magazine.
