The 105s Are Ready to Roll Intermittent rain showers, lumpy seas, and light breeze didn't stop several J/105 teams from getting in some valuable practice today. Skip Dieball is here coaching Travis Weisleder's Lucky Dog team, and with the help of crash-boat diver Bill Wiggins, he set a windward-leeward course and ran a few informal races for a handful of 105s. The teams swept out the collective cobwebs and speed-tuned against one another. At this point, Brian Keane's Savasana seems to be the team to beat, but Damain Emery's Eclipse and Weisleder's Lucky Dog. are in hot pursuit. It will be interesting to see how the racing pans out in this 14-boat class over the next few days; the practice races were very close. |
