The
J 24 is probably from the NY Sailing School .and is juking around in
the flats practicing tacking.

There were J24s everywhere. Some had numbers on the hull, but this one was just
called Sea Nymph. She was from a club, but I think there's more than one. We
also saw a few Colgate 26's having fun.
But it was this boat that really looked dramatic as we approached the Verazano.
Sadly, I have took no pics of her sailing, but she was quite a site. The
unstayed mast is incredibly thick at the base, so much so that I'd called it a
windage issue. She has a HUGE main and was flying a very small chute.
