Not surprisingly, there is a strong turnout within the loyal J/105 fleet- the first J/105 one-design fleet in the world! The J/105s have a “baker’s dozen” sailing in this year’s event. Leading boats are none other than Ian Charles’s MAVERICK, Bruce Stone’s ARBITRAGE, Ryan Simmons’ BLACKHAWK, Adam Spiegel’s JAM SESSION, and Tim Russell’s NE*NE.
In the ORR Division are a quartet of J/Crews; including two J/111s (Dick Swanson’s BAD DOG & Reuben Rocci’s SWIFT NESS), and two J/120s (Barry Lewis’ CHANCE & Tom Allard’s MR MAGOO). For more Phyllis Kleinmann Swiftsure Regatta sailing information Add to Flipboard Magazine.
