Case Whittemore, racing his J29, Patriot, earned second place honors in the J29 Class Series at the NOOD Annual Regatta in St. Petersburg this weekend, narrowly missing first place by 3 points in the six race series. Paul Anderson, racing Titillation, also did well, bringing home a fourth place win, followed by Jay McArdle, racing Fast Lane, in 6th place. Thanks to Clark Dennison (see comments below) for pointing out that new member Dr. Skipper Hope also competed in the J24 Class in Thin Ice, assisted by Mark Wensell and Wes Marshall.
