Discard now in play at J/111 Worlds

Hampton, VA (October 23, 2021) – The penultimate day of the 2021 J/111 World Championship hosted by Hampton Yacht Club saw light and shifty conditions, allowing only one race won by Bill and Jackie Baxter’s Fireball.

Rodrick Jabin’s Ramrod maintained the lead with 10 net points. Now that six races have been completed, the discard came into play, and Ramrod is able to throw-out their seventh from ysterday.

Andrew and Sedgwick Ward’s Bravo held onto second place with 16 points, and reigning World Champion Rob Ruhlman’s Spaceman Spiff jumped into third place at 19 points.

An 11 race series is scheduled on October 21-24.
