Will Welles Perfect on Day 2 of J/24 North American Championship
by Julie and Christopher Howell on 28 May 2017
2017 J/24 North American Championship - Day 2 Christopher Howell
Will Welles’ Bogus went four for four on Saturday at the J/24 North American Championship hosted by Houston Yacht Club. The Newport, RI-based skipper made a strong case in defending his title by winning all four meetings in winds at 12-18 knots.
Welles is now able to discard an OCS from race one, leaving him a scoreline of four, two, three, one, one, one, one for 13 points. Mike Ingham’s Nautalytics, also now dropping an OCS from race one, moved up to second with a solid day including three runner-up finishes. A sixth in the day’s final contest, paired with Welles perfect afternoon, prevented him from taking the overall lead in the 29-boat fleet. Travis Odenbach’s Honeybadger dropped to third with 22 points.
Welles and Ingham placed first and second, respectively, in each of Saturday’s first three races. The bronze position was taken by Todd Fedyszyn’s Spoony Tactics in race five, Odenbach’s Honeybadger in race six and Nobuyuki Imai’s Siesta in race seven. Following Welles in race eight were Imai and Odenbach.
Racing concludes Sunday.
