J/111 UK National Championship” Defending UK National Champions Tony & Sally Mack’s J/111 McFly retained the trophy with an impressive five wins from eight races. Louise Makin & Chris Jones’ JourneyMaker II scored no worse than third the entire regatta to finish as runner-up. Cornel Riklin’s Jitterbug held off a big challenge to take third from Paul Griffiths Jagerbomb, which won two races on the final day; Jitterbug was third by a single point. “When all the J/111s line up there is nothing much between us,” commented McFly’s Tony Mack. “We have to work hard to sail faster or higher to get ahead, and even then, it’s only seconds between us. It is very much a team effort on McFly for trim and balance with Jeremy Smart calling the shots. We all know our jobs and we get on and do it. If we do well, it’s always a team effort.”
