(Chicago, IL) – Laura Weyler’s HIJINKS collected two bullets in the finale on Sunday to repeat as J/88 North American Champion. With Adam Burns (skipper), John Goller, Philip Hasl, Kevin Morgan, and Kris Werner, the upstate New York-based team kept all their scores in the top four in all ten races; winning six of them! No scores were discarded for the series. The J/88 NA’s were part of the Verve Cup Offshore Regatta hosted by Chicago Yacht Club, with teams sailing off the spectacular Chicago waterfront on Lake Michigan.
HIJINKS was on top of the thirteen other J/88s for three of the four days of racing. Although Ben Marden’s Chicago-based BANTER team grabbed the overall lead after day two, Weyler’s crew finished strong with three successive victories in the remaining races on Saturday and Sunday. BANTER ended in runner-up position with 33 points, and Douglas Newhouse’s Newport, RI-based team on YONDER placed third with 46 pts. Rounding out the top five were Mike Bruno’s New York-based crew on WINGS in 4th place with 49 pts and Iris Vogel’s New York-based team on DEVIATION in 5th position with 52 pts.
