2016 Ullman Sails San Juan 24 North American Championships

Oak Harbor, WA

June 25^th 26^th.

The conditions could not have been better for this years Ullman Sails San Juan 24 North American Championships.  With winds from 8-12 warm sunny skies and great competition.  Eleven races were sailed over the two days.

Grauer Geist sailed by Ken Johnson and crew took an early lead by winning the first two races and getting a second in the next.  Ryan Forbes and his team on Ekono Juan had a great end to the first day finishing only a couple points back after the 6 races on day one.  One race was a dead heat for first place even after reviewing a video of the finish between Grauer Geist and Ekono Juan

Day 2 started with a nice Westerly and soon shifted to a North Westerly breeze allowing a few boats that were buried at the start to work their way back into the race by hitting the shifts.  Return sailed by Mark Bradner and crew soon started moving up the reader board by winning a few races.  The late push was a little too late with Ekono Juan sailing very consistent at the top winning two more races and sealing the win by 2.5 points.

Chuck Skewes of Ullman Sails was on hand to be the master of ceremonies for the fleet dinner on Saturday with a review of the days racing as well as tips for the newer racers in the fleet.

Ullman Sails once again claimed the top spot and 2 of the top 3 places.
