The JY15 Atlantic Coast Championship was held Saturday, 7/18/09, in Niantic.

DIYC members made up half the fleet at the JY15 Atlantic Coast Championships, hosted by Niantic Bay YC, after many competitors (those with young crew) left the course due to relatively high winds. RC ran 6 races, which allowed for one drop. There was a solid westerly breeze all day, 14-20+ knots, with waves building as the day progressed. Little Lawrence Hennessey, crewing for Ben Russell, was a real trouper in this breeze- you couldn't wipe the smile off of his face. Ben and Lawrence finished in 5th place. Justin Nolf and Kristin Connell finished in 2nd place with 10 points overall, dropping a 3rd as their worst race. Kevin and Birgit Gillman finished in 1st place with 6 points.
