WEHRHEIM REIGNS AS 2009 J/22 NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPION
Racing Abandoned on Final Day

Heath, Texas, USA – October 2, 2009 – Phil “Flip” Wehrheim, Max Skelley and Greg Koski secured victory at the 2009 Genesta J/22 North American Championship at Rush Creek Yacht Club. The team went into Friday’s racing with a mere one point lead over Scott Young of Austin, TX. With a lack of wind on Lake Ray Hubbard, the Race Committee was unable to complete races eight and nine. Wehrheim finished the event with 15 points compared to Young’s 16.

Competitors were postponed on shore until early afternoon. An attempt to complete at least one race proved unsuccessful, as the light winds never settled, and teams were sent back to shore.

The top 10 are: Flip Wehrheim (15 points), Scott Young (16), Terry Flynn (21), Kelson Elam (25), Chris Doyle and Eric Faust (tied at 33), Rob Johnston (35), Dave Kerr and Marvin Beckmann (tied at 56) and Max Scott (58).

The J/22 Class and the competitors wish to thank Genesta as the title sponsor, Rush Creek Yacht Club, PRO Mike Anderson and the entire race committee.
