Tag: FBYC J70 Spring Regatta

Sunday was the Fishing Bay Yacht Club J/70 Spring Regatta with 6 boats racing in 14-16 gusting to 20 out of the West. With Andrew, Evan and Mark on board we had a great crew and were really able to get the boat around the course well in the higher winds.  We even kicked it up a gear planning downwind when we could.

We sailed 5 races with some pretty tight finishes with the other boats.  In 3 of the races we finished a boat length or less behind someone.  The shifty and puffy conditions made it both challenging to stay in phase and hard to keep changing modes to keep the boat going fast.

We finished a consistent 1-3-3-2-2 including having to restart on the final racing having been OCS.  Another great day.

The series concludes next Sunday at Spring Series #4.

J70s sailing in the J70 Spring Regatta

On Sunday No Quarter was among the 5 other J/70s sailing at FBYC in the Spring regatta.  We started out with pretty nice wind – not quite hiking, but solid without any big holes.  With John, Holly and Mark aboard we had good starts and sailed consistently finishing 2nd in almost every race.  In the last race we got a little behind and ended up 3rd – and loosing the tiebreaker for 2nd to finish 3rd overall.
