The Helly Hansen Sailing World Regatta Chicago was hosted by Chicago Yacht Club June 5-7 for 100+ teams competing in various one-design and offshore handicap racing fleets. The Chicago J/88 fleet fielded a strong eight-boat group, and the results reflected that highly-competitive racing. Sailing a great regatta was Dave Dennison’s PIRANHA team, winning three of the seven races to take the win with 16 points. Ben Marden’s BANTER crew also posted all top five finishes for runner-up with 21 points. Rounding out the podium was Dave Tufts’s GAUCHO with 26 points. The rest of the top five included Andy Graff’s EXILE in fourth with 28 points and Brian Kaczor’s ERICA in fifth place with 31 points.
