Stowe Yacht Club hosted the annual “J Days” as part of the Green Mountain Regatta. We held the first day of racing on Thursday with 9 J Class sailboats completing 14 races. Due to a lack of wind, we delayed starting over an hour. Over the two days, we raced the J Class boats completing a total of 21 races.We sailed a single fleet format. Thursday and Friday's weather was partly to mostly sunny with light winds and mild temperatures. 

Brian Kerrigan finished the regatta in 1st place with 25 points and 14 bullets out of the 21 races. He was followed by Domenick Bonanno with 46 points finishing with 4 bullets.
