Greetings and Happy New Year northeast J/30 sailors!

Building upon the success of last year's first ever southern New England J/Fest, southern New England J/Fest is set to happen once again August 12th and 13th in the beautiful RI waters of the southern Narragansett Bay. This year's event is sure to be much larger than last year and will be hosted by Sail Newport . Details are available at:

Congrats to Chris Tate with the J/30 Blitz crew winning first place in the 2017 New England J/Fest in the three boat J/30 fleet on a tie breaker with Daniel Borsutzky's Flying High. Jim Hilton in KAOS missed the first two races because he was in the wrong starting area in the fog .
