Annapolis NOOD. May 3-5. 18 boats competed in the three days of racing. The J105s were on a new race course this year, Division 4, south of Thomas Point, and run by Annapolis Yacht Club. It was a long 1+ hour, each way, motor/sail from Annapolis harbor, but it was well worth it. Day One saw ENE winds, 12-16 kts, and the MBE syndicate on Veloce, coming out on top with finishes of 1, 1, 3. Day Two winds were a little lighter, NE 8-12 kts, and Mirage posted the top finishes with 2, 1, 8. Day Three started out overcast and cold, feeling more like a Frostbite race than one in May. Chad Gilpin and his team on Dark Star came out on top of Day Three with a very impressive day of 4, 1, 5. Mirage was the overall winner ,with a total of 33 points in the 8 races sailed. They were the only boat to score all top ten finishes. The top five were: Mirage (33), Veloce (45), Inigo (52), A Train (56), and Tenacious (57).
