This year, this page will be used mainly for "National" stature regattas, e.g. regattas that might draw boats from outside the local fleets. This would include, for example, Key West RW, SORC, Charleston RW, the NOOD regattas, SF Big Boats, et al. I'll gladly consider exceptions of note however.

Charleston J/105 Fall Championship
November, 2001

The Charleston J/105 Fall Championship was a sailor's paradise this past weekend: Balmy breezes; 72 degree shirtsleeve weather; the sun low enough not to be intense; a moderating water temperature of 62 degrees; good camaraderie; eight races over two days. The two birds came out on top. Bob Johnstone's TERN 7 and Fred Stone's PUFFIN finished 1-2 in the 9 boat fleet. And, the margin of victory was a half boat length in the 7th race.  This regatta (Nov 17-18) capped a four event J/105 one-design series in the Southeast. TERN 7 won the first two regattas, the Geechee Sailing Club's Savannah Octoberfest (Oct 6-7) and the Hilton Head Yacht Club's Calibogue Cup (Oct 20-21), both in class and overall PHRF. PUFFIN won the South Atlantic Yacht Racing Association's offshore championship (Oct 27-28).  The Charleston event featured a North Sails Racing Clinic hosted by local North loft’s George & Peter Durst with moderator Will Keyworth from Annapolis. Seminars were held both Friday and Saturday evenings with coaching from a whaler permitted throughout the two-day event. On Saturday, 2 short practice races were followed by a close reaching spinnaker sprint race up the Ashley with Jack King's MERRYTHOUGHT prevailing.  The J/105s then sailed one-design as Class 1 of the Charleston Yacht Club's 12.5 mile Big Boat race around government marks in the harbor in lots of current and winds varying all over the compass. TERN 7 pulled a rabbit out the hat to win, having been a deep 4th around the last windward mark. Sunday was a spectacular sailing day in a 10-15 knot Northerly with 30 degrees shifts. Three double WLs were run prior to a final sprint race, a beat up the Cooper River to the Charleston Harbor Marina for the awards presentation. For some indication of how all this sailing affected the quality of the fleet, 4 different boats won the last 4 races and 5 boats were rounding the weather mark within 6 feet of one another. At the awards ceremony on the dock, Fleet Captain and host Bob J., in breaking with the traditional 1, 2, 3 award routine, declared everyone to be winners, that this was the purpose of the weekend. He presented custom-made Wired & Fired 12" pottery J/105 Hors d'oerves platters in fall colors to the participants. Each platter was labeled "Winner". Everyone won something.... whether it was longest distance prize, being stuck in the mud the longest or having the best looking boat...not to mention a few handed out for placing well in the races.

There’s already talk of plans for the 2002 Fall J/105 Circuit combined with other established events and the good chance of outside boats participating. Here’s the preliminary proposal: QUICKSILVER CUP (CORA feeder race from Charleston to Savannah) OCT 5-6; OCTOBERFEST (Geechee Sailing Club Regatta in Savannah) OCT 12-13; CALIBOGUE CUP (Hilton Head Island) OCT 21-22; ALICE CUP (Feeder from Hilton Head to Bohicket Marina, Seabrook Island on Saturday, party, then to Charleston on Sunday) October 28-29; J/105 FALL CHAMPIONSHIP (and Charleston YC Big Boat Regatta) NOV 16-18.

J-Fest, San Diego
October 13 & 14, 2001

Commentary by Bill Johnson:

This past weekend, October 12-14, J/Fest 2001 was held at San Diego Yacht Club. This is an event began by Sail California, the local J-Boat dealer, for J-Boats only. Friday afternoon there was a charity race for San Diego Wellness Community, a cancer support organization. It was followed by a calypso party with an auction. In all, the event raised some $19,000. The actual racing was Saturday and Sunday. We had very pleasant weather - warm days and mostly good winds. The big problem racing off Point Loma is the kelp. It was as bad as I've seen it and you constantly saw crews flossing the keel or using a kelp stick on the rudder. The J-105 class was the largest with 19 entries. The Southern California fleet has grown dramatically in the last two years - in 1999 the event drew maybe 6 boats. In 2000, we had eleven. Now in 2001, nineteen. The winning crew was Javelin, hull # 394, owned by Doug and Pam Werner. They sailed a very consistent series, never winning an individual race but not finishing worse than 6th. Second was Legacy, #190, Brian Dougherty, also with a consistant series. Third place, and definitely hard luck boat of the regatta, was Fleet Captain Tom Carruthers' Incorrigible, #435. Tom was tied with Javelin going into the final race and finished 17th to Javelin's 3rd. The fleet looks set for more growth next year. Most of the growth has been in San Diego, but several boats are on order in the Los Angeles/Long Beach Harbor area.
