This week was the first time all three members of JMJ Racing came together to represent for the 2011 Central Regionals. Conditions Thursday were good enough to get off five or six races in light winds in rough ice with light snow cover. Conditions were not ideal, but the event seemed to get great turnout and was well supported by a capable Race Committee. Great opportunity for us to meet other racers, and new friends were made. All three of us made it back in time to attend the TIYC weekly meeting, and applications have been submitted for membership.
Mike's boat - Nancy's Nightmare seemed to be pretty well put together for it's inaugural run, but the J2 seems to have some major bugs to be worked out, lots of ideas to pursue. It was a disappointing first outing for the boat, but as they say, it's a great learning opportunity.
We hope to meet with Ron Sherry of C2 in the coming week or so and start to dial in the boats. Our focus moving forward is to compete in formal regattas and to be competitive.
Not sure if John is gunning for second place here or saying 'now we have two boats'..
Setting up to race.
2011 Central Regional Awards Ceremony.
Can't wait to get out there and do it again, we hope to make the 2012 Central Regionals, which may take place as soon as the weekend of Jan 14.
