The Annapolis YC hosted the J/30 North American Championship over the beautiful and challenging weekend of September 28-30.

Twenty boats turned out for six races. Hampton sailor David McConaughy and his team aboard White Boat edged the Annapolis-based Better Mousetrap team (led by Mary Grealy and Bob Putnam) in a tie-breaker for top honors.
In a testament to the depth of the fleet and the level of competition at the regatta, neither of the top teams won an individual race and the six contests were won by six different boats. The top five boats were within two points of one another after two days of racing. Sunday's single planned contest was abandoned in the face of light wind.

White Boat leads the fleet at a weather mark on Saturday at the 2007 J/30 North American Championship off Annapolis. the White Boat team included Dave and Kim McConaughy, Kenny Saylor, Mike Austin, Glenn Gates, Doug Gordon, Jimmy Haines, Rusty Burshell, and Tripp Behm.
