our Champion
News
The District 8 J/24 Series kicked off it's 2011 Season this past
weekend at Lake Lanier Sailing Club just north of Atlanta, GA.
A group of (14) boats were in attendance made up of a strong local
contingency including (2) Teams from Georgia Tech in addition to several
out of town traveling boats from Burlington/Goldsboro/Wrightsville
Beach-NC and Columbia/Hilton Head-SC. RC was able to get (6) great races
off and it ended up with James Howard on "Classic" and Chip Till on
"Murder Incorporated/Team Layline" knotted at the top...in the end the
tie-breaker fell James' way!
