(Riverside, CT)- At host Riverside YC and Storm Trysail Club this past weekend, there was quite a remarkable display of corinthian sailing by J sailors across the spectrum, from the tippy top of the IRC racing spectrum to the "classic" PHRF warhorses that have proven time and again they're good, competitive sailboats. J/Team's swept first place in FOUR of the five classes sailing in the 2011 Long Island Sound IRC/ PHRF Championships! The sailors were all treated to spectacular easterlies with 10-17 knots and clear skies on Saturday's racing.In IRC 3, Tom Boyle's J/122 WINGS won with three 2nds, a 1st and 3rd. Andrew Weiss’s J/122 CHRISTOPHER DRAGON won the first two races on Saturday to place second in the IRC 3 division. Third was Jim Bishop's J/44 GOLD DIGGER winning the last two races to finish just one point out of second.
