Scatchet Head Race

Winds were howling on Puget Sound on March 14 for the second race in the Corinthian Yacht Club of Seattle’s Center Sound Series: the Scatchet Head Race. Sixty-six boats made it out for the start. In Class 4, the J/105 A3 flying one-design class was once again taken by those fast sailors aboard Erik Kirsten’s J/105 Jubilee. Leaving the J/105 Last Tango over six minutes back in second and the J/105 Avalanche another 13 minutes back in third. The J/105’s reported flying along under control with their smartly chosen A3s pulling them along at speeds over 16 knots, pushing into 17 at times.
