Quantum introduces the fastest in
a long line of fast J 22 sails.
THE NEW V SERIES.
Quantum’s testing started this past winter with one goal in mind: to improve the already fast J-22 designs. The V Series
utilizes Quantum’s newest “iQ Technology” to refine shapes while matching sails, rig and hull. In addition, Quantum had
some of the best J 22 sailors in the world test the new sails; all resulting in a sail that has a wider groove, is easier to trim
and flat out faster. Everything that you come to expect from Quantum Sails.

Letter from the President
By Chris & Julie Howell
Kelson is busy with final preparations for the 2009 J/22 North
American Championship in Dallas so he asked us to fill in for this
edition. Many of you may be reading this on the drive to the great
state of Texas where everything is bigger and better. And no doubt
the one thing that will be bigger at this year’s NAs will be the fun.
As Jeff Progelhof has said, Cleveland may have its corn hole, but Texas
has its steers and…beers! The NAs will start with a practice race on Tuesday and afterward
Rush Creek Yacht Club will host the competitors briefing and welcome
reception with complimentary food, beer and wine and an informal
Texas Hold ‘em Poker tournament. After racing Wednesday, we will
have a chalk talk with the regatta leaders and complimentary beer
and wine. It is a free night for dinner which will give all the
competitors an opportunity to enjoy the many restaurants and
honkytonks nearby. After Thursday’s racing, we will meet on the
upper deck of Primo’s, right next to Bass Pro Shop at the north
end of the lake for free Mexican food and beverages. After racing
Friday, RCYC will serve complimentary beer and wine and Chef Poe
is whipping up a fabulous meal as we dole out the awards! Visit the
regatta website at www.j22na.com for all the information you’ll need
for a last-minute sign up or to follow the action!

Rumper
Protection for your Rudder
By Joe Gibbs
My boat hangs on a lift over the water most of the
time as many others do. I am near the end of the pier
system so I seem to pick up more boat dings from fishing boats and new sailors than others. One day I got
a huge ding (gouge), and I was…livid, as anyone else
would be if they had paid good money for a great fairing job or spent time doing it themselves. So I went
on a mission to find something to protect my rudder’s
trailing edge. Barbed wire and small mines were overruled by the JYC harbor committee as they believe this
would be too aggressive.
So I went to Walmart and purchased a toy pool noodle
for $2. I also bought some small line to attach it. The
key here is to buy the noodle with a hole through
the center of it. Use a sharp knife or razor and slice
straight down one side of the noodle to the center
hole to split the noodle open. Don’t worry if you
aren’t exactly straight with your cut, it will work anyway. Now punch a couple of holes between the back
edge of the center hole and the new aft edge of the
Rumper to thread the line through. You’ll need two
pieces of line about 18-24” long for this. Punch one
through up high above the waterline on the rudder
near the head, and one down low to hold the bottom
part of the Rumper.
To attach, first slide the Rumper onto the top of the
trailing edge of the rudder. Tie the first line (at the
bottom of the Rumper) around the rudder blade
loosely so it can slide down. Now get your tiller
extension. As you push the Rumper down the trailing
edge, it will try to slide off. Use the grip end of the
tiller extension to lightly tap the Rumper back in place
and keep sliding it down until you reach the bottom
of the rudder. (This is really easier than it sounds.)
Tie off the top of the Rumper to the rudder head, and
you’re done.
Tips:
•
•
•
•
Make sure the rudder
is out of the water
when installing and
removing. The
Rumper is really
buoyant.
After you have
positioned the line
in the Rumper, tie
small stopper knots
on either side of the
Rumper to make it difficult for “boat guests” to pull
out the line—or you’ll have to re-thread.
When removing, untie the top line first. Then just
push the whole Rumper off the bottom of the
rudder. Use the tiller extension to help push down
the line at the bottom as it will try to bind. No need
to have crew hold you by your feet while you
untie it.
If the boat feels sluggish on the first beat, make
sure you have removed the Rumper.

for the 2010 J/22 Midwinter Championship
Southern Yacht Club and Fleet 46 in New Orleans, LA
are excited to host the 2010 J/22 Midwinter Championship from March 11–14. The last time the Midwinters were held at Southern (in 2007), the club had
not yet begun its rebuild after being destroyed by
fire during Hurricane Katrina. The club operated
out of temporary modular buildings (i.e., trailers)
for over three years, and is proud to announce that
its new clubhouse is in operation and is fabulous!
The new Southern Yacht Club shines on the shore of
Lake Pontchartrain
The turnout at Southern for the Midwinters is usually strong—averaging 64 boats for the five years spanning 2000-2004.
in advance, but in all likelihood there will be a little of everything
over the course of the regatta. If the breeze does kick up, a short
chop can develop very quickly, testing gear and seamanship.
Southern Yacht Club is located on the south shore of Lake Pontchartrain, forming the northern border of the city. The lake is 24 miles
in diameter, and is relatively shallow at 14’. The winds in March are
governed by the timing of fronts that pass through. It is hard to predict whether the breeze will be light or heavy more than a few days

Rochester Yacht Club Gears Up to Host the 2009
Every two years, women sailors from around the world
set sail to the Rolex International Women’s Keelboat
Championship hoping to stake a claim on one of sailing’s
most revered trophies, and to see their names alongside
the sport’s top competitors. As one of the longest running
women’s one-design regattas, the Rolex IWKC—or simply
‘The Rolex’, as alumnae call it—holds a special place in
the hearts of many sailors. Since its founding in 1985, just
two years after the introduction of the J/22, the regatta
has hosted over 2,400 sailors from 23 countries, and has
been credited with advancing the overall level of women’s
competitive sailing and encouraging more participation in
the sport.
“The Rolex IWKC holds a special place in sailors’ hearts
because it is an all women’s event,” continued Beadling.
“The memories and friendships usually go far beyond the
event itself. Recognizing women sailors in a highly maledominated sport is really exciting. It gives us a chance
to meet and sail against women skippers at all levels. Where else could a fairly new sailor compete against Anna
(Tunnicliffe), Sally (Barkow) or Cory Sertl?”
The 2009 Rolex
International Women’s
Keelboat Championship
will be held at Rochester
Yacht Club (RYC), October
7-10, with racing on the
Genesee River and Lake
Ontario. Lead by Regatta
Chair Anne Beadling, a
Rolex IWKC competitor in
2005, the organizing committee and volunteer team—now
over 50 members and growing—has planned for over 40
international teams.
In fact, J/22 Class stalwart and two-time Rolex IWKC
champion Cory Sertl is not only competing in this year’s
regatta, but also was instrumental in bringing the regatta
to RYC. “The Rochester Yacht
Club membership has always
had an interest in hosting the
Rolex Women’s Keelboat,”
said Sertl. “In fact, Helen
Ingerson from RYC is credited, along with Ann Connor
of Newport, with creating
the concept of an international regatta specifically for
women. It is in her honor
that we made the bid and
accepted it. We look forward to welcoming sailors, their
families and supporters to Rochester and carrying on the
tradition of this tremendous regatta.”
“Sailors can expect fantastic sailing conditions,” said
Beadling, who frequently competes in the local Rochester
Fleet #55. “Fall is beautiful in upstate New York, and
Lake Ontario in October is a sailor’s dream.” Those who
competed in the 2008 J/22 World Championship, held at
RYC, might remember Beadling as treasurer/secretary and
project manager on the organizing committee.
The biennial regatta, part of US Sailing’s adult championship series and celebrating its 13th anniversary of offering women of all ages and abilities the opportunity for
top-level competition, is expected to attract competitors
from across the United States and abroad. Teams registered include Olympian Carol Cronin and Olympic Gold
Medalist Anna Tunnicliffe.

Rolex International Women’s Keelboat Championship
Those young sailors looking to take the “next step” to
keelboat sailing will participate in the Next Step to Rolex
Program, which was established in 1997 as a companion
program to the Rolex IWKC. Scheduled for October 2-4,
the three-day clinic gives junior sailors exposure to a highlevel international championship, and helps them make
the transition from dinghy to keelboat sailing. Tunnicliffe
will be the featured speaker.
The Notice of Race and additional information including
team bios, results and more can be found on the official event website: www.riwkc.com. Through a special
arrangement with US Sailing, Kattack will provide “live
tracking” of the racing, which will be viewable through
the event website.
The 11-race Rolex IWKC series features evening social
activities and culminates with the traditional Rolex gala
and awards presentation where a Rolex timepiece will be
awarded to the winning boat’s skipper.

BEATS A GOOD DAY AT WORK!

C. Thomas Clagett Jr. Memorial Regatta
Day 1 – The first of three days of racing in the seventh annual
C. Thomas Clagett Jr. Memorial Regatta, taking place out of Sail
Newport, Rhode Island’s public sailing center, saw all four fleets of
sailors with disabilities complete four races on Narragansett Bay.
Race one was sailed in a dying northerly that faded out and switched
direction, forcing several classes to abandon their second race and
wait for the wind to settle. Although the southerly breeze managed
to fill by 13:00, it never got above eight knots over the rest of the
afternoon.
nister (Miami) posted finishes of 2-1-3-2, while 2008 Blind Sailing
National Champions Sengil Inkiala (Waltham, MA), Nancy Jodoin
(Newton, MA) and Ken Legler (Reading, MA) with Naomi Shwom
(Sharon, MA) went 1-2-2-3. All three teams have eight points.
Speaking to the sailors, noted sailor Gary Jobson remarked that
The Clagett was “more about what you learn, than what the results
are.” However, as evident from the three-way tie for first place in
the J/22 Class being raced by the visually impaired sailors, it’s hard to
squash competitive instincts. Racing for the 2009 U.S. Blind Sailing
National Championship title, Mitsuhiro Iwamoto (San Diego, CA)
and Glenn Boivan (Saugus, MA) with Peter Frisch (Swampscott, MA)
and Lyn Comfort (Newport, RI) turned in a 3-3-1-1 to take the lead
spot in the fleet. The 2006 IFDS Blind Sailing World Champions JP
Creignou (St. Petersburg, FL) and Jan Bartleson (Miami, FL), racing
with sighted guides Diane Fowler (St. Petersburg) and David Ban-
Day 2 – The visually impaired sailors in Sail Newport’s fleet of J/22s
completed four races. A drop race, now that each fleet has completed a seventh race, has factored into the scoring and has had impact
in the J/22 fleet. After starting the day in a three-way tie for first,
Inkiala, Jodoin and Legler, with Shwom, a member of the Sharon
High School Sailing Team, won the last two races of the day to jump
to the top of the overall standings.
Defending champion Inkiala commented that there is less closequarter sailing in light shifty conditions making racing more about
strategy, adding that the three-way tie means that the pressure is on.
“And when the pressure is on, people make mistakes.”
They hold a two-point lead over Creignou and Bartleson, racing
with sighted guides Fowler and Bannister, who started the day with
a win of the first race. Creignou then displayed remarkable fortitude

A determined Creignou alerted the race committee to the problem,
finished the race–in fifth–and then sought medical attention. They
finished 4-2 in the subsequent races and are second overall with 15
points. Creignou’s trip to the hospital resulted in seven stitches, but he
was back under the regatta tent in time to hear local sailing icon Jerry
Kirby (Newport, RI) talk to the competitors about his participation in
the recent Volvo Ocean Race. Ryck Lent (Waltham, MA) and Mark Bos
(Gloucester, MA) with Mike Dinning (Natick, MA) and David Gilman
(Sharon, MA)–another member of the Sharon High School Sailing
Team–moved from fourth to third overall with consistent finishes of
2-2-2-3 for 23 points. In addition to a Class win for The Clagett, the
2009 U.S. Blind Sailing National Championship title is on the line for
these competitors.

Day 3 – When the competitors left the dock for the third and final day
of racing at the C. Thomas Clagett Jr. Memorial Regatta, they did so in
a beautiful crisp 12 knot northerly that unfortunately died off over the
course of the morning.
NORTH COVERS
While the total absence of breeze ultimately forced the last races to be
abandoned for the J/22 class, all the competing fleets sailed a ten-race
series, except for the J/22s who sailed 11, and the day ended with the
standings unchanged as the fleet leaders prevailed to claim the top
prizes.
Making the Fun Last Longer
SAFE
Racing in Sail Newport’s fleet of J/22s, 2008 Blind Sailing National
Champions Inkiala, Jodoin and Legler, with Shwom, added two more
bullets to their scoreline to successfully defend their title. The 2006
IFDS Blind Sailing World Champions Creignou and Bartleson, racing
with sighted guides Fowler and Bannister, were awarded the silver for
second overall. Lent and Bos with O’Neill and Gilman added an OCS in
the final race of the series, to their 3-2 from earlier in the day, to hang
on to third place overall for the bronze.
“We were over early in the first race today,” said Inkiala, “but we came
back and re-started, were last on the first leg, but worked our way back
to finish second. And then we won the last two races of the day.” For
Inkiala, who sails with the Carroll Center’s SailBlind program, as does
Lent, this is the sixth Blind Sailing National title he has won since 1999.
From the massage therapists who volunteered their time to work on the
competitors’ tired muscles each day after racing, to the donated fruit
from an area farm, to the clamboil sponsored and prepared by a local
family, the local support for The Claggett is remarkable. “It’s a community effort,” said event founder Judy McLennan. “In this economy, to
have businesses and individuals on Aquidneck Island coming together
in this way is really, really wonderful.”

Consistency Leads Todd to J/22 Title
Annapolis skipper wins Mid-Atlantic crown
By Bill Wagner, The Capital
Skipper Jeff Todd showed the most consistency
in extremely light winds and captured the J/22
Mid-Atlantic Championship, held in August at
Severn Sailing Association.
A Naval Academy entry skippered by Midshipman Jason
Carmunati posted two bullets and was leading the regatta
going into the final race. However, the Navy team was over
the starting line early in Race 4 and wound up placing 14th
in the 19-boat fleet.
Todd placed second in two of four races and overcame an
eighth in finishing one point ahead of fellow Annapolis
skipper Alon Finkelstein. Chris Ryan (trimmer) and Mark
Hempstead (foredeck) crewed for Todd, who garnered the
Mid-Atlantic title for the second straight year.
Principal race officer Joe Frieble held the fleet onshore
until 1 p.m. on Saturday until a five-knot breeze on the
Severn River allowed for two races to be completed. It was
a similar story on Sunday with the fleet waiting until noon
for a 7-9 knot sea breeze to fill.
“Minus that one bad race, we were consistent. We were
able to find what little breeze was out there,” Todd said.
The Mid-Atlantic crown continued a solid season for
Todd, who placed second at the J/22 Midwinter
Championship and second at the Annapolis NOOD.
Todd literally went down to the wire to win the regatta,
passing several boats toward the end of the fourth and final
race to place second. “That was the only five-leg course of the
entire event and that helped because we were able to pick off
a couple boats on the last windward leg,” Todd said.

Competitor’s View
of the J/22 Mid-Atlantics
By Alon Finkleston
A good turn-out of J/22 were greeted with some
typical mid-summer Chesapeake Bay conditions—it was hot, humid and there wasn’t a lot
of breeze. However, Severn Sailing Association’s
stellar Race Committee, led by PRO Joe Frieble,
did a great job minimizing any on-the-water
waiting around, while maximizing the wind
that we did have. Races were held off Bembi
Beach, in the same location as Thursday night
races, which thankfully meant we didn’t have to
sail many miles out to the race course.
Two races were held on Saturday in a 6-knot Bembi Beach
southerly thermal. The Navy J/22, skippered by midshipman Jason Carmunati took the bullet in race one, with Julie
Sitzmann, gearing up for the women’s Rolex, winning race
two. Jeff Todd was the most consistent racer, and held the
overnight lead with a 3-2 score line. A great keg and grilled
salmon dinner party was enjoyed on Saturday night at the
SSA clubhouse.
On Sunday the RC again postponed on-shore for a while until
a nice southerly sea breeze started building around noon.
By the time racing started just after 1pm, the seabreeze had
built to around 10 knots making for some great action in the
final two races to decide the championship. Carmunati won
the third race of the regatta, and thus had it all to lose going
into the final race. However there were still four other boats
in contention for victory including Todd, Sitzmann, Colin
Linehan and me.
In the final race, the Navy boat was over early and by the time
they re-started, they were out of contention. Sitzmann also
had a bad start and couldn’t recover. Linehan had the best
start of the contenders and was dueling for the race lead, with
Todd and I not too far behind. Going up the final beat, it was
all to play for between these three boats. Eventually Todd
found the crucial final windshift, passed three boats who had
over-stood on the starboard tack layline and in the process
took the overall regatta victory.
Thanks to everyone who made it out! Full results are posted
