2018 J/22 Midwinter Championship at Houston Yacht Club - Day 1
by Christopher Howell 17 Mar 2018 07:39 GMT
16-18 March 2018
Travis Odenbach’s HoneyBadger leads after 4 races on day one of the J/22 Midwinter Championship. The first day of racing brought a smorgasbord of conditions from overcast clouds to sun and winds from light and shifty to solid breeze between off and on showers.
Doug Weakly’s HNL opened the Championship with a bullet, ahead of Travis Odenbach’s HoneyBadger and Terry Flynn’s Tejas. Mike Marshall’s Bad News earned the next victory, with two Doyles behind him—Kevin’s Mo’ Money and Chris’s The Jug 4 1. Chris Doyle took race 3 followed by Odenbach and Marshall.
Race 4 saw some new names with Mark Foster’s Pressure drop at the top followed by Danny Pletsch Sketchy and Chris Doyle in third.
Hosted by Houston Yacht Club in Texas the Championship continues through Sunday for the 39 teams participating.
