There has been tremendous support for J Boats from the fleets, owners and admirers around the Great Lakes. In 2017, the first annual J/Fest was hosted by ABYC and was fantastic. With a desire to build on the success, National Yacht Club could not be more excited to invite all J Boat owners to participate in what promises to be fierce one-design and PHRF competition and just as exciting shore parties.

London Olympics 2012 Day 5 for Canadian Sailing Team

We had stronger winds today at 20-25 knots from the SW. Perfect sailing conditions. There was even a little sun 🙂 The courses further from shore have quite large waves in the afternoon as the current from the tide was opposing the wind direction. This made from some fantastic rides for the 470, Finn and Star racing. Tomorrow should be back to the typical 10-15 knot range with possible gusts to 18. The Laser and Radial fleets had a day off today.
