(Naples, FL)- Over the past few weeks, the J/70 has been sailing in Chicago and Florida. In the Chicago area, Richie Stearns and the SAIL-22 crew (Ed & Becky Furry) have been sailing up and down the Chicago waterfront and soon all around the Midwest. Recently, Richie, Lori and Ed "shadowed"the 35nm Chicago-Waukegan Race in a light-medium air southeasterly sailing up the lake from the Belmont Harbor starting line off the spectacular Chicago city-front north along the coast to Waukegan, Illinois. The speeds and experiences surprised the trio on the J/70 as well as those who saw them sail with them (much, much bigger boats)-- they pacing with many 35-40 foot racing boats! If you're in the greater Chicago region, please be sure to contact Richie Stearns at 847-404-2209 or

craig.crossley@gmail.com for a demo sail in Florida. For
