2010 Event Planned to Return to the Chesapeake Bay
August 25, 2009
In a light breeze reminiscent of the Senior Nationals event the week before, Dan and Matt Japikse won their second consecutive Jet-14 Junior National Championship at their home club of Mayfield Yacht Club in the beautiful Adirondacks. Dan and Matt won all three races to take top honors. Chris Whalen and Maggie Pokalsky earned runner up honors and Sean LeHane and Lizzie Whales rounded out the fleet.
New President Dave Japikse reports that all three boats are planning on making the trip to the Chesapeake Bay in 2010 for the 2010 Nationals event. Class champion Brent Barbehenn assembled a convincing package to host the event at Tred Avon Yacht Club in Oxford, MD. Although not 100% confirmed, it is believed the event will be held during either the first or second week of August. Block off your calendars now!
