Fifty-three J/70 teams traveled to Davis Island Yacht Club in Tampa, Florida for the middle weekend of the 2017-2018 Quantum J/70 Winter Series.

Chilly but sunny conditions ranged from 8-10 knot breezes on Saturday to 16+ knots on Sunday, as three races were completed each day. Joel Ronning's Catapult topped the fleet with 9 net points, dropping a fifth in Saturday's last contest and otherwise keeping all top three finishes. Bennet Greenwald's Perseverance took second place with 20 points. Brian Keane's Savasana, who won the first weekend of the Series in December, was just one notch back in third. The 22-boat Corinthian division was topped by Bob Willis' Rip Rullah.

Each Friday of the Series, SAIL22 and North U are combining forces for the Porch Series to offer practice races and coaching. Racing concludes at Davis Island Yacht Club on February 9-11.
