We interviewed the winner of the 2022 Melges 15 ILYA Championship on Lake Winnebago - Jonathan Bailey from North Lake, WI (Suzanne Ackley - Crew) for his race course notes. This was the first ever Melges 15 ILYA Championship held since the boat, released in May 2020, became an ILYA sanctioned fleet in February 2022. The Melges 15 (M15) designed by Reichel/Pugh and built by Melges Performance Sailboats won the Sailing World Magazine "Boat of the Year" award in 2022.
Jonathan and Suzanne placed: 1 - 4 - NA - 6 - 1 - 1 - [11] for a total score of 24 and Net 13 after dropping the throw out race, 10 points lower than the 2nd place finisher.
We interviewed Jonathan from his home on August 8, 2022.
