Chris Hennon and Lacie Wallace (#483) rip upwind at the 2017 Jet-14 Southern Comfort Classic regatta
The first regatta of the Jet-14 season gets underway this weekend near Asheville, NC. Weather is forecast to be ideal with sunny skies, temperatures in the mid-upper 60s, and winds in the 5-15 kt range. Lenny Wells (#1130) will look to defend his title against an expected fleet of 10 boats which includes past champion Tom Grace/Paula Pacheco (#717).
The local ABC affiliate, WLOS, ran a series of segments on the regatta, the local club, and the new youth sailing program. You’ll find some nice video of last year’s SCC regatta in there.
