J/109 'Tastes Like Chicken' wins NOOD

In sailboat racing there are two degrees of quickness: there's fast and then there's blazing fast. Ask Stephen Tedeschi where his J/109 team fell in that range at the Sperry Top-Sider NOOD Regatta in Larchmont and we guarantee he has no qualms confessing that his Tastes Like Chicken is plenty fast: fast enough, that is, to earn the regatta's overall trophy and a trip to the British Virgin Islands for the Caribbean NOOD Championship in November! 58% of the entries for the regatta were J/Boats, with plenty of J/one-design action in the J/27, J/30, J/105 & J/109 classes… report & results here.
