(Oswego, NY)- The Oswego YC in upstate New York hosted the 2019 J/24
Great Lakes Championship for a star-studded fleet of fifteen-boats on
the eastern reaches of Lake Ontario.After a weekend of sailing, it was Travis Odenbach’s HONEYBADGER from Rochester YC that decimated the fleet with a blitzkrieg of five bullets in a row and taking a DNC in the sixth and final race to win with just 5 pts net.
For the balance of the podium, it was a three-way OK Corral shoot-out with Morley Flynn’s SEAWEED, Aidan Glackin’s MENTAL FLOSS from Lloyd Harbor YC, and Ted Bartlewski’s DRIVERS WANTED from Port Credit YC in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. All virtually tied going into the last race, it was Flynn’s SEAWEED winning the last race to secure the silver. Glackin’s crew suffered the ignominy of dropping from an easy second place to third after finishing 4th in the last race.
