Congratulations to Tony Parker for winning the 2014 Hillman Capital Management J/24 East Coast Championship aboard BANGOR PACKET. Sailing with Tony were Rossi Milev, Martha Parker and Ross Dierdorff. Hosted by Severn Sailing Association, Saturday dawned with a lot of promise for clouds, drizzle and wind. Such was the blow-out that racing was rightfully canceled Saturday afternoon and on Sunday. For the 14-boat fleet, it was great racing while they were able to get some in on Saturday morning. Parker took a 2-1-3 to win with 6 points. Behind them, it was a brief battle for second. Nevertheless, it was Travis Odenbach’s crew from Rochester YC in Rochester, NY that grabbed the silver by posting a 3-4-2 for 9 points. Just one point back after being tied for the lead with Parker after the second race with a 1-2 was the “Scotians” from Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron in Halifax—Evan Petley-Jones on LIFTED. Rounding out the top five were Pat Fitzgerald’s RUSH HOUR and Mike Marshall’s PIPE DREAM, in fourth and fifth, respectively. The “All In The Family Award” goes to the Constants family sailing BLITZ from Seawanhaka Corinthian YC in Oyster Bay, NY. Onboard were Al, Dave, Steve and Mike Constants with Dave Hammand and Barbara Gold filling out their crew. J/24 Fleet 8 in Annapolis would like to give a special thank you to Mark Hillman and Hillman Capital Management for being the title sponsor and making this special event possible.
