Bermuda Race Week - Not Mine wins J105 Class

by Talbot Wilson on 30 Apr 2010 Not Mine skipper Allan Williams shared the glory of his fourth consecutive J105 Class first place finish with co-skipper Glenn Astwood this week at Bermuda International Invitational Race Week. The duo won on a tiebreaker that put Chuck Millican’s Elusive into second.

Both boats finished with eight points. After dropping a fourth place finish each, Not Mine had scores of one, one, two, one, three and Elusive scored two, two, one, two, one. Not Mine wins with three firsts over two for Elusive. Third place in the five-boat class went to James MacDonald in Passion.

Because of high winds early in the week the J105’s only sailed six of the nine scheduled races. Thursday and Friday were “No Race” days, so the competition ended there.

The Laser Class was scheduled to finish their eleven-race series on Thursday. However, their schedule designates Friday as a “Spare Day” so then can continue and get all eleven races into the week. The J24, etchells and IOD classes have racing on Thursday and Friday as well.

High pressure is building in Thursday morning easing winds and seas. The forecast for Thursday is WNW 18-22kts and Friday WNW 15-20kts.

Racing starts at 1100hrs on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday for both courses.
