Sail Northwest One Design
FRIENDS DON’T LET FRIENDS PHRF
Sail Northwest supports ONE DESIGN SAILING whether it is a J/BOAT, Moore 24, Etchells,
Olson, 1D35, Melges 24, SJ 24 or dinghies. We are sailors and love to promote the fleets. We were instrumental in putting together the ONE DESIGN booth at the 2008 Seattle Boat Show showcasing some of the local fleets. J/BOATS lead the field in ONE DESIGN and we are proud of our owners and how active our fleets are. Below is a sampling of our local J/Boat fleets and we will see you all at the 25th J/FEST NW June 13—15, 2008.
J/22 Fleet #21
The only “One Design” start at the Friday night
