28 on  the line at J/105 Nationals, September 26 - October 2
Appearing in Latitude 38
With 29 registered for the J/105 Nationals hosted by San Francisco Yacht Club, including one boat shipped from Annapolis and one local charter, competition was stiff. Conditions varied over four days of racing, with sailors weathering minimum 8-11 knot breeze. Late Friday variety hit hardest, with wind peaking 22-24 and short wet chop linked to the thick, rolling in coastal fog.
 
Claiming gold was Randy Hecht of Niuhi. Crewmate Russ Silvestri commented on their winning ways: 1) Have a clean lane off the line. "Only once did we tack off the starting line because another boat affected us.” 2) Minimize maneuvers. “The goal was two tacks a beat, as the consistent wind direction put a premium on speed and staying clean. Once you are in the four to ten group, you get ping ponged around while the top three boats sail away.” Top moments happened race one/day two. “We were third with Blackhawk leading, Mojo second. On final gybe to the finish, we were thin on the lay line and on starboard. Mojo heated up behind us; Blackhawk gybed to go wing-and-wing. We snuck through to win. Blackhawk came third, creating in essence, a four-point swing which set the tone for the day. That moment increased our energy and carried us through the regatta.
