Day one of each year can be started in Hampton Roads with the HYC/OPCYC Dana Dillon New years day Race. This year I raced in Reflex with Jason Abernathy in the new to him J/24. The day began foggy but turned into a beautiful spring day on the 1st of January. 70F on January 1, 2022 was pretty fantastic especially as the wind filled we finished 5 overall behind 3 PHRF A Class boats and a C&C 101 sailing in the PHRF Non spin Class. Reflex was 1st in the PHRF B/C class and we'll ahead of the fleet behind the 1st 5 boats. It was a great day.
