Detroit sailors having some fun in Naptown!
(Annapolis, MD)- According to J/34 IOR owner of KNEE DEEP, Brett Langolf, “a
group of us sailors from Detroit represented Bayview Yacht Club at the
Annapolis NOODs. We competed in the competitive 23-boat J/80 Fleet on
the boat KOPP-OUT. The group of four had never sailed together, but knew
each other from their hometown (Port Huron) and college (Michigan
State). This was the owner/skipper’s (Tom Kopp) second regatta and,
amazingly, our team took 2nd Place, one 1 point out of 1st after 8 races
(3 days)!! We lost out to some local Pro’s that know the Bay waters
well. They also led the fleet with three 1st place finishes throughout
the weekend. Kudos to our crew- CJ Ruffing, Steve Young, and Tom Kopp!
We had a blast!”
