Two J/122s made a successful debut at the 2008 Acura Key West Race Week. After 8 races over an abbreviated 2 1/2 day schedule (2 days cancelled to bad weather), Andrew Weiss’ CHRISTOPHER DRAGON (Long Island Sound) and Robin Team’s TEAMWORK (Beaufort, SC) led the rest of the 37-40' IRC racers to finish 3rd and 4th overall in the closely contested IRC-2 class. The top two boats (Swan 45 MURKA-2 and J/44 GOLDDIGGER) sailed well and thrived in the moderate to windy conditions seen for most of the racing. The highlight for the J/122s was on Thursday when CHRISTOPHER DRAGON took two 2nds to TEAMWORK’S 1st and 3rd, with TEAMWORK later awarded the Premiere Racing BOAT-OF-THE DAY for winning the most competitive handicap class.
