First Regatta of 2010- J120 Midwinter Championships

So now that the Season is back on here in Dago, it brings me to my first regatta with a great boat and class. The J120 has a solid history of quality racing and solid fleets. San Diego is no exception. This weekend we are looking at fleet numbers in the double digits for a great mid winter championship regatta. I will be sailing with Mike Hatch's J120, J Almighty. Mike is fairly new to the boat and the class, but he is a pilot, so he can drive the boat like he stole it. It should be a good time. With Jay Cavialeri (Ex USNA Sailing Director) on Tactics, I plan to navigate and trim on the brilliantly maintained J120. It should be a great opportunity to start the season strong and bring home some early season silver.

Results to follow after the regatta.

Telltale- Software for Sailors www.ttsail.com

I have used this software in the past and it is easier than pretty much anything in keeping your crew up to date with all the new tech on the boat and the scheduling of regattas. Check it out...A new format is due to be released that will be hands above the current technology (and will not require a domain name purchase). Contact Blue Water Media or me (jksail@gmail.com) for more information.

Telltale was crafted by sailors for sailors. The platform is a culmination of over 30 years of sailboat owning/racing and 12 years of experience building interactive software and Web based content management systems.

Blue Water Media® started work on Telltale in 2005. First creating sites for sailing programs in Annapolis, the company owners began to realize that there was sustainable need for sailing Web sites. Telltale helps skippers keep track of events, crew, and can communicate with images and message boards in one central location.

JK Sailing's new spot on the web

The year of change is here, and with some new ideas comes an easier way to promote my mission for sailing in San Diego. I hope to be able to promote the fun and spirit of Corinthian sailing in an environment that is PERFECT for doing so. That being said, the owners I am fortunate enough to sail with, do not enter races with a goal of second place. Over the course of the 2010 season, I hope to be able to be part of and help teams that work hard and win boat races.

Boat preparation, mental, and physical preparedness will be the focused areas of this year's success. JK Sailing is back in the business of helping the boat preparation part of that equation become the last possible excuse. Skilled in most boat maintenance above the water line, JK Sailing is a one man show to provide the absolute best and timely value to sailors of all experience levels and boat types. Grand Prix to Cruiser, we got you covered.

See you on the water.
