For the fourth annual Cleveland (216) Regatta, after some rain showers on Friday, warm weather and beautiful fall breeze welcomed seven J/70s at Edgewater Yacht Club in Cleveland, Ohio on October 6-7. Three races were completed in shifty breeze on Saturday with 8-12 knots out of the southwest, flat water and sunshine peeking through. On Sunday, unusual Cleveland fog prevailed and even with some breeze, Organizers were unable to get any racing in due to visibility. Following racing, teams met on the drysail for the Quantum/Sailing Inc. “SAIL-gate” where the Browns pulled off an OT win for the first time on a Sunday in two years! In the J/70 fleet, from Rochester, NY, Kevin Morgan on Wild Card took first place over two Edgewater boats. Tod Sackett’s team on FM came in second place and in third John Zelli’s Free Energy.
