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 11 J Class sailboats completing 12 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 22 races. The races split into odd even groups keeping the total boats on the water limited to smaller groups. There were hardly any collisions, but a few troubles seemed to affect several boats. Thursday and Friday's weather was full of sunshine, light winds with blue skies and temperatures in the upper 80s and 90s.

Brian Kerrigan finished the regatta in 1st place with 19.2 points and 5 bullets out of the 22 races. He was followed closely by Dave Ramos with 20 points finishing with 6 bullets.
