Cowes Week 2013
With seven boats, the J/105s enjoyed some spirited racing and a past class winner again rose to the top to take class honors at Cowes Week 2013. Winning three of the six races was Fiona & Malcolm Thorpe’s beautiful navy blue King Louie, netting 10 points in the end to win class. Never far off the pace and well within striking distance to the end was Charles Nicholson and Neil McGrigor’s Jin & Tonic, taking second overall with 13 pooints. Chris Jones Journeymaker 5 snagged the bronze in class. Finally, taking fourth was Jacana (Paul Wood) and fifth was Jos Of Hamble sailed by the honourable Professor Roger Williams.
