Montreal J/22 Fleet is on a Roll
Last month, Hudson's St. James Church hosted a super interesting J/22 - 2012 pre-season Rules and Tactics clinic. Armed for the work shop with a PowerPoint presentation and a metal drawing board with little magnetized sail boats stuck to it, the crews all chipped in for a Mexican style potluck dinner, with wine and beers handy on the kitchen counters. The atmosphere was more reminiscent of a 1969 High School Class reunion than of a typical RRS clinic, if you know what I mean!
CYA Women’s National Keelboat Championship
The Hudson Yacht Club hosted this year’s CYA Women’s National Keelboat Championship. In addition to running a flawless event, HYC also took first place. The team on String Theory CAN1421, Nicole Bastet, Jenny Marten and Jessa Chenier finished 1st overall after 6 races.

The CYA WNKC will be held this year at HYC, June 3rd, 4th, and 5th and include one day of on the water clinic and two days of racing. This year's choice of boat is the J/22.
The J/22 - Pure Class
The Canandaigua Jackrabbit, the Lake George North-East Championship, Rochester’s Jimmy regatta, the Canadian J/22 championship at PCYC, and the North American Championship in Buffalo: having participated in all those events, the Montreal J/22 fleet is active and is growing rapidly. The Hudson Yacht Club now has seven boats and hopes to add two more to the start-line for next season. Top racers in other fleets on the lakes are seriously discussing the opportunity to join the class. Rumors has it that a sharp looking J/22 has even been seen sailing Lake St-Louis.
