J's Sail St. Croix Hospice Regatta

J/36 sailed by Antonio and Ellen Sanpere- sailing in St Croix, USVI* Hospice Regatta- St. Croix- a report from Antonio Sanpere sailing his beautiful J/36- "We just finished the Hospice Regatta in St. Croix. We had a J-27, J-24, J-36, and hull number 1 J-95. The J-95 could have won except for a DSQ. The J-36 (mine) could have won except for a DNF for sailing the wrong course and then breaking the main halyard and having to race both days with a reefed main.  We temporarily rigged a block above the exit box for the genoa halyard and used the old halyard to raise the main to where we could put in the reef!  Amazing. We had to remove the solid vang to get the boom low enough. It was fun never the less!!"
