Welcome to San Juan 21 - Fleet 1
They did it again! This time the Duwamish Head race. SJ21 skippers Christian Lamp, Jim Altice, and Fausto DeGuzman recently completed the second Sound Sailing Series race, the Duwamish Head. You can watch their NEW video here.
In other news!
Fleet 1 has a new Captain!
Congrations to Jim Miller who will be replacing Fausto Deguzman, who quite possibly set a record for the shortest reign as Fleet Captain. Fleet 1 already know's that Jim Miller is an incredibly capable and fast skipper who is very well versed in Sailing etiquette and rules. Make sure to give Jim as much support as you can during his tenure as Captain.
It should also be noted that Fausto Deguzman has been incredible asset to Fleet 1 that will be sorely missed. He's been your videographer as well as one of the Fleet's most prolific photographers the past couple of years. Fausto has also been hugely instrumental in getting the Fleet 1 website overhauled, forums implemented, and a frequent contributor to your "rigging ideas and tips" section.
Fleet 1 wishes Fausto lots of luck in his new post!
A little about Fleet 1
Fleet 1 is an active group of Pacific Northwest sailors united by their love for the San Juan 21 sloop. There is no other boat that combines the performance, ease of sailing, and low cost of operation than the San Juan 21. One of the best things about these boats is the camaraderie and resource sharing you get with sailing in an active Fleet. If you are thinking of buying a San Juan 21 or have just bought one and need some assistance getting on the water, Fleet 1 members are more than happy to provide assistance. Feel free to shoot an email to any of the Fleet 1 contacts or post your question on our Forum.
With over 2,600 hulls produced between 1969 and 1984, you are not alone when you have a San Juan 21. Sharpen your sailing skills by joining any of the Fleet 1 races or come sail with us in one of the summer cruises. Fleet 1 proudly hosted the 2009 Western Nationals at Brownsville, WA in the summer of 2009. The Western Nationals was a wonderful opportunity to socialize and race with fellow San Juan 21 sailors. See you all in Montana in 2010.  |
