Sixty-two boats total participated in J/Fest Southwest, hosted by Lakewood Yacht Club in Houston, TX from October 12-14. Sailors were treated to awesome sailing conditions both days; in particular, it was windy on Saturday with gusts in the high 20s. The event started out with the newly famous Legends Race that was sailed in a “stadium-sailing” scenario right in front of the club. Five video cameras recorded the live action, broadcast worldwide on YouTube. Winning the J/70s was not easy for Jay Lutz’s ZOUNDS team. They were mixing it up with Forbes Durdin’s MOJITO. In the end, they both had all top four finishes and dominated the top of the leaderboard. However, ZOUNDS had a consistent tally of 1-2-2-2-1-3-3 to score the gold, while the MOJITO crew took the silver with a 3-4-1-1-2-2-4 for 17 points. Glenn Gault’s SIMPLY IRRESISTIBLE settled for third with 29 points. For more J/FEST Southwest information, visit https://www.jfestsouthwest.com/.
