2014 JOG season gets underway with a race to the ever-shrinking NAB Tower © Fiona Cloke
The 2014 JOG season got underway with a 67 strong fleet across classes 3, 4, 5, & 6 for a race to the ever-shrinking NAB Tower. There was a particularly strong turn out across the fleet for j Boats, Sigmas & X boats of various sizes, but some competitive fleet within fleet fun for the Impalas.
Grey skies, intermittent drizzle but steady breeze made for competitive racing with the entire fleet finishing within an hour, with some highly competitive fighting for the finishing line, with Akarana 3, (Castro 8m) Class 5, owned/sailed by Graham & Libby Deegan taking line honours.
Corrected Provisional Results:
Class 3: j Fever, (J120) owned/sailed by Tim & Frances Lester
Class 4 & Doublehanded: Juliette (J105) owned/sailed by Jeremy Freeman
Class 5: Akarana 3, (Castro 8m) owned/sailed by Graham & Libby Deegan
Class 6: Meow, (Contessa 26), owned/sailed by Chris Charlesworth
NEXT JOG RACE: Cowes - Cherbourg, Friday 18th April, first start at 0730 BST.
