2025 J/70 Corinthian World Championship at Eastern Yacht Club, Massachusetts – Day 2

by Julie & Christopher Howell 25 Sep 2025 23:55 BST September 24-27, 2025

Winds at 10-15 knots, murky skies and rolling waves were the order of the day at the J/70 Corinthian World Championship in Marblehead, Massachusetts USA.

The 29 all-amateur teams again hit the ocean course for three more races, bringing the total to six and now including the discard. Alec Cutler’s Hedgehog (BER) hurdled up the standings with a pair of bullets and a second to hold the top spot at 9 net points. Day one leader Edward Gary’s Ayacucho (USA) stayed strong but dipped to second place at 12 points, one ahead of Ignacio Perez’s Zaguero (MEX).

Despite a rainy morning, the visibility opened up just as the day’s first race got underway. Cutler’s Hedgehog commanded the course, ahead of Loe’s Dime and Perez’s Zaguero. Continuing their rise up the podium in the next contest was Cutler’s Hedgehog, as Perez’s Zaguero stayed close and Gary’s Ayacucho placed third. It was a familiar top group in Thursday’s final battle: Loe’s Dime, Cutler’s Hedgehog and Gary’s Ayacucho. Teams beat the pending storms to shore for another evening of appetizers, drinks and camaraderie.

Racing continues through Saturday from host Eastern Yacht Club with five nations represented (BER, CAN, CHN, MEX, USA).
