It was wet all around for the J-22 fleet this past weekend. After race 2 on Saturday, the String Theory crew (previously known as Tinkerbell) ended up in a shallow patch… Unable to free themselves from the rocks, they had to jump in to seal the rescue operation. Only minor paint damage and maybe a little filler required, phew!
Now onto Sunday’s action where race one proved to be too warm for Springbok since Bernard le Duc decided to take a dip at the windward mark during race 1. Apparently no one noticed him going overboard and he had to call his own “man overboard”! Femke might have some sweet talking to do this week…
With a near perfect race weekend, Jazz did not want to be left behind in the christening of lake… they lost their bowman Stephane overboard who was filling in for John. The incident only made them go faster since they beat the fleet by 3 minutes in race 2.
If anyone owns their own flotation device company, you now have a test market of J-22’s who can vouch for your product.
