Among the flurry of sailing activity on the Chesapeake Bay Nov1-2, Annapolis Yacht Club played gracious hosts to the J22 East Coast Championships. The original date set for the event in early September was blown out due to Tropical Storm Hanna making her presence in the area. There were eighteen boats registered for the regatta.
Conditions Saturday were fluky at best and made for challenging decisions. On Sunday, the breeze was up to a steady 10-15 kts from the northeast and tapered to an 8-10 kts by the last race of the series.
Sunday, the three races tightened up the top three contenders. Not realizing there was a drop race; Brad Julian, Matt Schubert & Dave Bonney were knocking on the door to Todd Hiller and his team which consisted of Lynda Hiller, Nicole Breault and Suzie Wulff. Julian dropped an eighth in the first race and Hiller let go a fifth in the third race. The final race proved worthy with Hiller winning and taking the title of 2008 East Coast Champion with Julian and Finkelstein as runner ups, respectively.
