The San Francisco YC hosted its annual springtime favorite event, the Elite Keel Regatta, for a huge fleet of twenty-six J/105s.
After five smoking-hot races over the two-day weekend of sailing on the always windy San Francisco Bay, it was Tim Russell's super hot and quick NE*NE team that rolled to a fairly easy win with a consistent 3-2-4-1-1 tally for 11 pts. Not too far off NE*NE's hot pace was Ryan Simmons's BLACKHAWK team with a 6-1-1-5-3 record for 16 pts. Then, it was quite a leap of points to the bronze medal winner- Rolf Kaiser & Justin Oberbauer's DONKEY JACK- with an 11-6-11-4-4 for 36 pts total.
The balance of the top five was William Woodruff's ROULETTE in fourth with 42 points, followed by Eric Raff's J-TRIPPER just one point back with 43 pts in fifth place.
