Boats with North sails dominated the 2008 Jaguar Series! The 2007-08 Jaguar Series in Miami, FL has been, as advertised, a blend of great racing and camaraderie and, with three out of four regattas having been completed, North Sails customers are dominating the events! In December, Bill Hardesty and his team won the 73-boat Piana Cup and in the beginning of January Chris Busch and this team outsailed the 81-boat fleet in the Sidney Doren Memorial Regatta to win this classic event by 9 points. In February, it was Bill Hardesty and his team’s turn again as they sailed with spectacular consistency in the 87 boat Florida State Championship to post scores of 3-1-4-5. An amazing 19 point win over a huge, world-class fleet. With the 2008 Etchells Worlds being held in Chicago in June, a record of 85 boats showed up for the Midwinters, last regatta of the Jaguar series, and again Bill Hardesty and his team dominated the regatta taking the big win for the Series!

The 2007 Etchells season started in Annapolis this past weekend with the one day AYC Spring One Design Regatta. 10 Etchells sailed 4 races in very light and very shifty conditions. It was a good way to shake off the cobwebs and get ready for the NOOD regatta and North Americans, which will take place over the next couple of weeks. After 4 races, my team of my wife Katie, Jason Werner and I wound up in a tie for first with Jose Fuentes and Team Caramba. Jose won the tie breaker and won the regatta. Both of us used the PC+ main, LM-2 jib and Full Radial Spinnaker was very fast! Top 3:
