GUT FEELING takes the North Americans

July 27 – In a highly competitive 15 boat fleet, Ted Herlihy sailed GUT FEELING to the J/109 North American championship in Newport this weekend. Just four points separated the top three boats. Steve Kenny and Greg Ames took second in GOSSIP while Don and Nicolas Filippelli took third in CAMINOS. The NA’s were sailed as part of the ROLEX New York Yacht Club race week. Conditions were typical of the Southcoast and Narragansett Bay in summer – light breezes to a 40kt squall.
