Jeff Todd's Hot Toddy snatches early lead

Jeff Todd's Hot Toddy from Annapolis, MD won Friday's only race at the J/22 Midwinter Championship to claim a quick advantage in the 26-boat fleet. With Chip Carr and Chris Ryan on board, Todd beat out Sean Clare's White Trash and Chris Doyle's The Jug 4 1 in fluky winds averaging between 5-7 knots at the event, hosted by Fort Walton Yacht Club in Fort Walton Beach, FL. Light breeze prevented the Race Committee from starting any other contests.

Racing continues through Sunday. Photos are available on the J/22 Class Facebook page and complete results are available at www.j22mw.com.
