Ched Proctor

Congrats Jeff Dever!

Jeff Dever steered his 13 year old #1090 to Victory in the Etchells Coral Reef Cup regatta held this weekend on Miami’s Biscayne Bay in the seven race series. The 1090 team consisted of North Sails One Designs’ Ched Proctor and David Lutian. They scored 20 points in the seven race series. 26 boats competed in this event which is a follow on for the popular Jaguar series held over the winter in Miami.  Finishing third was another North Sails One Design customer Bryon Ehrhart. The sailing conditions were ideal with generally sea breeze direction and air temperature of 80 degrees. Fridays first race was sailed in 6knts building to 10-12 at the end of the race. The second race on Friday had the strongest wind of the series with 16 knots.  Saturdays three races again started with a light air race  then 2 races in 12-13 Knots. Sundays racing had 9-11 knots. Jeff used a  PC+ main and GM jib from 2006 and a new LM2 jib. Spinnakers were a new VMG and Full Radial.
