Fleet 6 weigh-in at McMichael's Tuesday August 11, 2009. - May 19, 2009
An opportunity to weigh your j105 and obtain a valid weight certificate is being offered at McMichael's Yacht Yard on Tuesday August 11th 2009. The cost is a discounted $275 and prior reservation with the fleet 6 measurer, Josh Burack (jhburack@aol.com) is required by August 1st. Please arrange to have your boat weighed this summer!
A second and final opportunity to weigh the boat will be offered in the week preceeding the North American Chammpionships, but the number of boats being weighed will be very limited and priority will be given to travelling boats being launched at McMichaels.
Eclipse wins AYC Spring by 1 point over Kincsem - May 3, 2009
Racing on the second weekend was very tight - again. With a forecast for winds of 5kn or less, the RC had a tough time getting races off, but luckily, conditions were generally sailable and good fun was had by all. Team Eclipse got the best of it and showed great recovery skills, pulling off passes in the last few yards of most every race. Way to go, Damian & co! Congratulations, too, to Peter Rugg on Jaded who pulled off a third place, beating out a number of long timers in the class! The top five were rounded out by Revelation and Shakedown. Great sailing also from our guest from the Far Coast, Bruce Stone from SF, who showed us locals how to master our light stuff, pulling off two firsts and a second. Had it not been for a late delivery resulting in a missed first day, who knows what Team Powerplay would have done?
Next regatta is Cedar Point on June 6-7. I encourage everyone to enter this great regatta - we're hoping to pull in a few boats from Eastern LIS for this one as well. Cedar Point puts on a great program for this regatta and we should all show our appreciation! It's just a few hours sail - last time I did it in just over three hours on Friday night! See you all there!

Eclipse leads by 12 points after the first weekend of AYC Spring - April 27, 2009
Twenty J105s were out for this last weekend, a recent record. Damien Emery's team on Eclipse sailed brilliantly on the first weekend, finishing with only 7 points in 4 races. Kincsem, Peregrina, Jaded and Woody round out the top five. Conditions were challenging - more like Larchmont Race Week than the traditionally cool and windy AYC Spring Series. Long Island Sound served up races with wind speed between 6 and 22 knots in one race on Saturday. On Sunday, it was very light and at times, redefining "shifty". Good fun was had by all nonetheless, everyone enjoying the warm and sunny conditions.
Looking forward to next weekend, which is supposed to be cooler.
