J/Sailors Enjoy Susan Hood Race

35 Ft J Teams Dominate IRC 2
(Mississauga, Ontario, Canada)- This past weekend, J teams had a fun time sailing the Susan Hood Trophy Race, emblematic of the start of the summer sailing season on the western end of Lake Ontario.  A strong fleet of J's sailed the event spread across both IRC and PHRF Divisions.

In IRC 2, which included several past race winners, it was going to be a tough fight to the finish.  In the end, it was a legendary J/35 CRIME SCENE sailed by Stephen Trevitt that took second in class.  From there it was a near "J-Class" sweep.   Third was the J/109 BLUE STREAK sailed by Robert Eckerseley from Toronto, fourth was Sheila Smith's J/109 PHOENIX and fifth was local Port Credit YC sailor Leszek Siek's J/35 JEAGER.  For more Susan Hood Race sailing information
