Charleston Race Week Preview

(Charleston, SC)- Starting on April 18th, a massive navy of J/Teams will descend upon the beautiful sleepy town of Mt Pleasant, South Carolina and transform the Charleston Harbor Resort & Marina into "J/Town".  Of the 295 boats participating, 117 J/Teams (40% of the fleet) are sailing in the event coming from all points of the compass, by far the dominant boat brand for Charleston Race Week.

On the "outside" courses are the big PHRF handicap fleets.  Leading the way in PHRF A will certainly be past winner and long-time local contender Robin Team (Lexington, NC) and his merry bandits aboard the J/122 TEAMWORK.  Chasing them hard will be a trio of J/111s including Kristen Berry & Fast Eddie (Annapolis, MD) aboard FIREBALL, locals Bob Stein (Charleston, SC) on KINETIC and Doug Curtiss (S. Dartmouth, MA) on WICKED 2.0.
