Texas State Championship Post Race Report |
|
Written by Eric Nelson
|
|
 The 18 boat fleet sported mostly jibs as they approached the starting line for race 1 but with mr. happy’s genoa rounding the first mark just behind Running on Empty as they dropped their jib to the deck, it was clear that either headsail could work. But later in the race the breeze built such as to give the jib boats an advantage…but in spite of Ambassador’s impressive walk through the fleet late in the race (they finished 3rd after being as deep at 12th!), mr. happy, driven by Bob Harden, held on to win with Running on Empty, driven by Ryan Harden, close behind in 2nd. After Midnight, driven by Mark Smith, and Flying Circus, driven by Jim Mitchell, rounded out the top 5 respectively.

District 14 to Host 2011 Nationals - UPDATE |
|
Written by Kelly Holmes

At the 2008 J/24 Board of Governor's Meeting, the Board voted to grant the 2011 location of the Nationals to District 14. Welcome back to Texas ya'll!! Submissions by Fleet 54 and the Fort Worth Boat Club and Fleet 163 and the Dallas Corinthian Yacht Club were presented to District 14 Governor, Kelly Holmes-Moon, for consideration. Deciding on a final location was a very difficult one since both clubs have so much to offer. The J/24 Executive Committee discussed at length each of the proposals, and after careful consideration chose Fleet 163 and the Dallas Corinthian Yacht Club as the host for the 2011 Nationals. We sincerely thank Fleet 54 and the Fort Worth Worth Boat Club for putting together such a wonderful proposal, and congratulate Fleet 163 and the Dallas Corinthian Yacht Club for hosting the event. As the event nears, we will be posting information on a dedicated website. Don't miss the 2011 Nationals! It will be a great event!! |

How to Fill Out a Part C –Inventory Form – Made EZ |
|
Written by Administrator
|
- Go to www.J24class.org; print a Measurement form.
- If you have a completed certificate, turn to the Part D (cont.) page.
- Take items 28-30, Dry Weight, Additional Correctors, and Basic Yacht Weight, and fill them in at the top of your Part C form.
- If your boat has not been measured, assume that your boat is at minimum weight and right 1270 kg in the basic yacht weight line of your Part C form.
- Go buy a metric hanging scale (a fish scale from Wal-Mart works fine).
- Weigh all required items, sails, anchor, motor fuel, first aid kit and manual, etc.
- Are you up to 1375 kg yet? Nope. Weigh optional equipment, not up to 1375 yet? Go find more sailing stuff to keep onboard as optional equipment.
- Minimum all-up racing weight is 1375 kg. Note: all optional items must be functional and not oversized for weight purposes.
- Sign the form, make a copy, put one in the boat, and go sail!
