'SpoilSport', skippered by Stuart Challoner, beat 16 other boats to win the 2009 J/24 Northeast Regional Championship hosted by the Corinthian YC of Marblehead, Massachusetts.
The event started with a strong 18-25 knot northwesterly and choppy seas, providing challenging and fun conditions for a talented group of racers. Three races were held on Saturday with 1.2 mile windward/leeward legs. 'SpoilSport' dominated the day with two seconds and a first. Other notable competitors were Mike Ingham sailing a new Italian boat who finished the day with two firsts and a sixth and Will Welles sailing 'Paraloc' who finished third on the day.
Sunday brought completely different conditions with a southwesterly breeze of 6-12 knots and flat seas. Two races were run in slightly shifty conditions. Will Welles and team posted a first and a third, but 'SpoilSport' sailed very conservatively, making sure to keep close to their competition, and posted a fourth and a second place to win the regatta.
