J/24 North American Championship at Sayville Yacht Club - Day 1

by Julie & Christopher Howell 18 Jun 2021 22:21 PDT

Thirty-two J/24s kicked off the 2021 Good Samaritan Hospital J/24 North American Championship hosted by Sayville Yacht Club in Blue Point, New York. Conditions were beautiful on Great South Bay, as winds began around 8 knots and increased into the teens throughout the three races in a light chop.
