Corinthian Yacht Club of Seattle is taking on the entire production for the first time in the 40-year history of the regatta, backed up by the erstwhile Bob Ross, event founder.

As a former owner of Seattle Sailing Club, Ross is still spreading the good word about J/Boats at SailNorthwest brokerage. The regatta takes place from June 10th to 11th, 2023.

After a few "shall not be named" years off, the J/Boat community is already hoisting lots of sails on CYC Center Sound Wednesday Evening races practicing for the big weekend.

There's many an experienced eye on the Race Committee boat looking at the field and plotting/ planning the course challenges for J/Fest on June 10-11, 2023. Classes include J/105, J/80, J/109, and maybe more than one start for the J/24 class, one of the largest in the US. After J/FEST, Corinthian YC looks forward to hosting J/24 World Championship in September 2024!
