The 2018 Canadian J/105 Nationals were hosted by Royal Canadian YC for a fleet of seventeen boats on Lake Ontario. The RCYC RC crew managed to produce five races for the fleet over the two-day weekend.
Not surprisingly, ace Canadian sailor Terry McLaughlin (an America's Cup skipper for Canada, two times J/105 North American Champion, and Olympic Medallist) managed to post five bullets to be crowned the 2018 J/105 Canadian Champion.
Fellow J/105 North American Champion, James Rathbun, guided his famous Hey Jude to an easy second place with a tally of 2-2-3-4-2 for 13 pts total. Rounding out the podium in third place was Frank McLaughlin's Starcross with a tally of 3-7-4-3-3 for 20 pts total. The balance of the top five included The Usual Suspects in fourth and Peter Hall's Jamaica Me Crazy in fifth position.
