Here you see a shot of one of our J22's' as she departs the harbor entrance this morning. As the wind was out of the east there was a nice little chop so it is important to have full power through the correctly hoisted mainsail and also the engine so as to enable the boat to easily get through the chop and out to the lake.
Notice the small boat to port of our J22. This boat is part of the Judd Goldman Adaptive Sailing program. This is a 2.4 meter boat that is used for more racing sailors and are used in world disabled championships, such as the Paralympics. Today there was a regatta for Adaptive sailors and you can see this little boat making her way out to the racecourse. It is part of the annual national disabled double and single-handed sailing championship, the Independence Cup that was taking place this weekend.
The Judd Goldman is a wonderful program that helps the physically disabled get out on the water. For more information on this great program click here.
