Over the weekend of the 9th-11th of February, the Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club held the annual Pittwater Regatta. One of the great sailing events on Pittwater for the year. Representing the Ensign Yachts brand was the Tofinou 9.7, and J/88 and J/99 from J/Boats. There were fantastic achievements for the three models participating, with the Tofinou 9.7 placing 2nd in its division in the Pittwater Championship skippered by Ensign's director Sean Rush, the J/88 placing 2nd in its division in the Pittwater Championship, and the J/99 placing first in its division in the ORC Championship.
J/99 'Veloce' owner Gary commented: "All in all a great regatta for Veloce. I have a great crew, and the J/99 is a rewarding boat to sail. We are really enjoying ourselves as we learn how to sail the J/99 to her potential."
Mark from J/88 'Joji' commented: Despite a couple of setbacks with crowded start lines we managed to fight back to catch and pass some 40+ footers making the overall results feel even better! The crew from J/88 ‘Joji’ were thrilled with their result, finishing 2nd place ORC Div 2 for the Pittwater Regatta Inshore Series.
