The Flying Junior (FJ) is a 13’ 3” centerboard sloop sailed

host, New Bern NJROTC. Each competing team of skipper & crew will sail a
race in an assigned boat, then rotate to the next boat in succession. Depending
on the number of competitors, rotation thru the fleet of FJs … 1 or 2 races,
then a layover, then 1 or 2 races, etc. The “round-robin” is completed when
every competitor has raced in every boat.
All
sailors are invited to participate!
