After two days of tight racing on the Chesapeake Bay and plenty of fun under the tent all weekend long, three teams rose to the top of the 2026 J/22 East Coast Championship. Congratulations to our champions!
1st: Rythmic Pumping (1504) – Aden King, Jeff Sullivan, Geoff Becker, Annapolis Yacht Club (12 pts)
With three bullets in seven races, Aden King and his team dominated on the water and won the party too.
2nd: Lil’ Puffy (USA 1077) – Christopher Wilson, Greg Skinner, James Rawlings, Severn Sailing Association (20 pts)
The model of consistency, Christopher Wilson and crew kept the pressure on the leaders all weekend and finished 2nd place, just one point ahead of SomerSault.
3rd: SomerSault (637) – Jeffrey White, Francois Tur, Shane Kilberg, Severn Sailing Association (21 pts)
Jeffrey White and crew saved their best for last, winning the final race to lock in a spot on the podium.
Off the water, the J/22 sailors showed up just as strong. They swapped stories over fresh-shucked oysters and kept the party going late under the tent. Full results: https://yachtscoring.com/event_results_cumulative/50943
