Johnny Heineken gets tangled up Meredith Laitos
When your kids get their kite fouled up in a tree, you climb up and untangle it, right? But when former Rolex Yachtsman of the Year Johnny Heineken gets his kite fouled in the rigging of a J/105, the retrieval process is a whole lot more dramatic.
Johnny got tangled with Scooter and Ryan Simmons' J/105 Blackhawk on the Berkley Circle while heading back up to the St. Francis Yacht Club in the SF Bay Challenge Regatta. Thankfully there were no serious injuries minus some bruises to Johnny and the destruction of the anemometer. We got word that Blackhawk was awarded average points for the races they had to miss!
