2017 J/22 North American Championship - Day 2 Christopher Howell
After seven races at the J/22 North American Championship, Travis Odenbach’s HoneyBadger has scraped its way to the top of the leaderboard. Following a bullet in Saturday’s first contest, HoneyBadger placed eighth in race six, becoming their discard.

The Rochester-based helmsman rebounded for a third in race seven, leaving the team with a line of three, two, six, two, one, three for 17 net points, heading into the last day of the event on Sunday. Chris Doyle’s The Jug 4 1 dropped to second place, tied on points at 19 with Jeff Todd’s Hot Toddy.

Hosted by Buffalo Yacht Club in Buffalo, NY, the 30 teams waited out an on-water postponement for a couple hours before starting in about six knots. Odenbach collected the win, with Dave McBrier’s Vamanos/Hardware Chimp and Todd’s Hot Toddy completing the top trio. The breeze increased slightly in the next contest, won by C. Doyle. Zeke Horowitz’s Uncle Fluffy and Jake Doyle followed.
