Hudson Yacht Club J22's invade Lake George








HYC had a great showing of 4  J22’s at the annual  J/22 Lake George Open/Northeast Championship Regatta.

Trevor Collins  with Alternative Girlfriend, Ron Harris  with Jazz, David Godin with Won Ton  and “the Gillai” with Over fought the good fight and finished well.
Saturday started off  with heavy breeze in the first 2 races and the afternoon races were cancelled as the wind was gusting to 30 kts.  The first 2 races races on Sunday were sailed in  light and shifty breeze, then the  wind  kicked up for race 3. 

Overall, David Godin and crew (Yves Godin and Marco Bourgois) finished 5th , Ron Harris and crew (Cathy Harris, Cynthia Shinn, Tammy Gillis) finished 7th, the Gillai (James, Andrew and Donny) finished  9th and Trevor Collins and crew (Alexandra Collins, Doug Mair, Jessa Chenier finished  12th. 
Three boats, Jazz, Alternative Girlfriend and Won Ton  will be going to to Newport, RI to compete in the J22 worlds, starting October 1st.  5 days or racing with almost 80 boats…all on the same starting line.  Should be good for some great photos!
