2009
Chicago Great Lakes
Racing Season
The J30 Awesome, hull # 243, and was first raced out of Chicago
under the name of "J Walker Kentucky Lakes outside Calvert City ,
KY where in 1989 Vivian found her and moved
her to Smithville Lake near Kansas
City , MO. Chicago
and have her moored at DuSable
Harbor
For 5 years Awesome had served as an after race party boat, floating sun deck, cabin on the lake, hole in the water, and sailing cruiser while Bill and Vivian crewed on other area boats.
In 1993 Awesome served as a loaner boat to the crew of the J30 Twilight
Zone out of Annapolis and they sailed her at the
North American Championships here in Chicago
During the 1996 NOOD, without enough boats to fill out there section, Brian Tobin "Measure for Measure" and Tom
Barnes "Whisper" along with there crews found themselves without a
section to race in. Sooo with a bunch of borrowed
sails and crew whom were new to each other and to Awesome had one Wednesday
night beer can race for practice and were off to the NOOD. Results were 7th of
12 boats in this one design race and the fires were lit. During the Verve Cup
of this year our newest sail was a 1982 Genoa
Awesome will be docked in DuSable
Harbor
"AWESOME" is now rounding up a
race crew for the 2009 season. Many crew
positions are open and we will have practice days on the schedule. People interested in crewing on Awesome in
2009 should send us an E-Mail.
