J/70 Lake Champlain Tour

J/70 sailing on Lake Champlain, Vermont (Burlington, Vermont)- Jeff Hill in Vermont says- "things are going very well on Lake Champlain with J/70 #16! We trailered the boat to the LCYC to ramp launch the boat.  Although the lake level is already low, she floated off easily and lowering the keel in place for the first time was a breeze!

We've been out for several test sails, and one long "shake down" cruise with very gusty winds into the high 20's, so getting to know the boat better.  Photo is us planing in moderate breeze- we're having a lot of fun!  The girls love it, too!"

FYI - the boat is displayed this Friday evening (7/13) at the annual "Boat Tour" at the Lake Champlain Yacht Club.  Contact Jeff Hill (jeff@brucehillyachtsales.com)
