(Gilford, NH)- The annual J-Jamboree celebrated its 33rd Anniversary, the event also served as the J\/80 New Hampshire Championship. The Lake Winnipesaukee Sailing Association, the Winnipesaukee Yacht Club, J\/80 Fleet 1, and Fay’s Boat Yard hosted the regatta on gorgeous Lake Winnipesaukee from August 26th to 28th, with sailing taking place out of Sanders Bay.\u00a0<\/p>\n The talented fleet of ten teams enjoyed close racing over the weekend, with the regatta’s RC\/PRO team able to run a seven-race, one discard series. For the winner, that discard proved to be the vital element of their winning regatta. Never winning a race but counting nearly all-podium finishes, Guy Nickerson’s PRESSURE team posted a 3-3-2-2-10-4-2 tally for 16 pts net.\u00a0<\/p>\n Winning two races but starting off the regatta slowly with a 4-6-7 was Mark Gorman’s TUBBY. After that inauspicious start, Gorman’s crew got it together, doubled down, and finished the regatta with a flourish of good races, posting a very consistent 1-2-5-1 to take the silver medal with 19 pts. net.\u00a0<\/p>\n Starting the regatta in the lead was Jason Viseltear’s UPSETTER, who finished the first day with a 2-4-1. However, their good fortunes did not last. As a 9th place out of 10 boats in race 4, and closing finishes of 4-3-7, it was apparent that was “upsetting” the UPSETTER’s hopes for the gold medal. In the end, they took the bronze medal by barely one point!<\/p>\n The balance of the top five included Graham Philpot’s BLACK DOG in 4th place with 22 pts and Les Beckwith’s FKA in 5th with 29 pts.\u00a0<\/p>\n The teams enjoyed their traditional welcoming party at the Lake Winnipesaukee Sailing Association Sailing Center. \u00a0Racers loved the J-Jamboree chili, and a few beverages, and chitchatted about their good fortunes of sailing on such a beautiful lake in the middle of New Hampshire’s White Mountains. \u00a0For\u00a0more J\/80 East Coast Championship sailing information<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" (Gilford, NH)- The annual J-Jamboree celebrated its 33rd Anniversary, the event also served as the…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3429","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-jboats_news_reviews"],"yoast_head":"\n<\/a><\/p>\n
