What it is all about?
What it is all about?
We race as a one-design fleet on Wednesday evenings on Lake Washington from mid-April to mid-September. The races are professionally conducted by a racing PRO officer from the Corinthian Yacht Club of Seattle. One-design is a form of racing where all boats are identical in design, equipment and sails. Boats in the J70 Class race each other without any handicap calculations, start at the same time, and the winner is the first to cross the finish line.
20 to 25 boats race on Wednesday nights. We also participate in selected regattas held at Shilshole Bay on Puget Sound. The Seattle J70 fleet is based at the South Leschi Marina on Lake Washington. Other J70 fleets are located at Port Madison, Bellingham, Orcas Island and Hood River, OR.
