J/122 CATAPULT Wins AYC IRC Fall Series

(Rye, New York- Sept 19-20 and 26-27)- In what has become a "de facto" J/Fest East-- the AYC Fall Series had a number of strong J/122 teams competing.

For the first weekend, the J/122s essentially "practiced" for their upcoming East Coast Championship raced this past weekend.  The eleven boat J/122 class was quite competitive, but Stephen Funary's PATRIOT walked off with a win followed by Mike Bruno's/ Tom Boyle's/ Jim Callahan's WINGS in second.  David and Mary-Ellen Tortorello sailed their J/122 PARTNERSHIP well to finish third.

In the IRC40 class, Marc Glimcher's J/122 CATAPULT won on a tie-breaker followed by Tom Carroll's J/133 SIREN SONG from New York, NY finishing in third place.
