Saturday, June 15
As part of the three-day Lipton Cup Regatta, teams from ten yacht clubs competed for the Sir Thomas Lipton Challenge Trophy on Saturday, June 15. Conditions for the StFYC J/22s were perfect in the Keller Cove race area, with winds in the 12-15 kt range, and moderate chop. The competition got closer and closer with each race, and after the 6th and final race of the day, Richmond Yacht Club led with 11 points, Inverness Yacht Club was second with 13 points, and San Francisco Yacht Club was third with 14 points.
Sequoia Yacht Club had an unfortunate capsize in Race 4, and proved that it is indeed possible to sink a J/22 -- good to know since the class reports that "there are over 1,550 J/22's now sailing in 65 active fleets in eighteen countries on three continents".
