Mexico reports from the newest fleet of J70's taking over the lake and the world!


Erik Brockmann from Valle de Bravo, Mexico reports from the newest fleet of J70's taking over the lake and the world!


This conditions were great this weekend, Saturday 8-10 knots and Sunday 10-15 knots so the J70s really came alive when it was 15 knots which was a lot of fun. Everyone on top is sailing with 4 crew, but weight was very different from our light weight team of Ricky, two girls and myself (250 k) compared to Julian's team which was over 300k. one of the super parts of a growing fleet of strong one design boats is, "great thing was that a long list of great sailors were there racing the J70: Julian, Jero Cervantes, Eric Mergentaler, Yon, Eliane and Ander Belauste, Javier Velasquez, Andres Akle, Fede Ortiz, Luis Morales and some others all of whom have won many national titles in the past.
