Again the J24s terrorized the CCV PHRF C fleet in Hampton VA. On Sunday October 6th, while the start was delayed to accommodate the Hampton Crab Crawl half marathon that included Bridge Street as part of the course, three J/24s showed up for racing on Hampton Flats. With very light air, a course was set toward the southwest. Roundabout led at the windward mark with Mizzmo close behind and current ebbing hard. In a conservative move, roundabout sailed north to be positioned above the finish line while Mizzmo and the rest of the fleet stayed south. With sea breezing trying to fill in, Mizzmo and Rocket J were able to sail to the fish line as the wind filled in to roundabout. The resulting finsish resulted in a 4 way tie for first place for the series.
roundabout (J/24) 1-5
Rocket J (J/24) 2-4
Spray (Olsen 25) 4-2
The Hunter (Hunter 26) 3-3
Mizzmo (J/24) 6-1
Let’s go racing
