Charlestown Race Week 2010 J-80 Report Twenty J 80s participated at this year’s CRW and the weather was picture perfect.  Winds from 10 to 20 with bright sunshine every day.  The fleet was packed with talent including two past World Champions.  The “B-Team” USA 655 made up of Yandell Rogers and David Whelan tied for first and lost on the tie breaker.  This was only Yandell’s second regatta driving the boat and the first time he has sailed since the Houston NOOD last September.  They are planning on doing a much more sailing before the Worlds and I look forward to calling them the B+PLUS team.  Congratulations guys… Link to CRW website  http://www.charlestonraceweek.com    

Using our standard Dacron Mainsail, Fusion M Technora Class Jib and the AIRX Class Spinnaker.  The rig set up came right from the Quantum Tuning Guide.  All of the Quantum J-80 sails are made from the same designs that have dominated around the world.  Winning the World Championships in 2007, 2008 and 2009.  We are planning on being up front at this year’s Worlds in Newport.
