2009 American Yacht Club Spring Series
The AYC Spring Series held on Long Island Sound, 91 boats were spread across 10 fleets. There were generally light winds both weekends. Congratulations to Doyle customers for winning the J/105, J/122, and Beneteau 36.7 classes.
The J/105 Class had the largest turn-out with 21 boats. Damian Emery and team Eclipse sailed Eclipse very well in the highly variable conditions to win overall.
Finally, the J/122 Class of 5 boats were shown their way around the course more often than not by perennial campaigner Andrew Weiss and his capable team aboard Christopher Dragon, comfortably winning by a six point margin. Mike Bruno's Wings hung in for 2nd.
In a tight fleet of 7 boats with only 1 point separating each of the top 4 boats, Bill Purdy and crew on Whirlwind won the Beneteau 36.7 Class.
