J/109 Maintenance

The J/109 is being hauled and blocked at Eastport Yacht Center, and we need your help to get her race-ready!

This is a great opportunity to pitch in and make a real difference. The bottom needs to be sanded and repainted—critical work that directly impacts performance. Many hands will make quick work of it, and your help will go a long way in getting the boat back in the water ready to race.

Whether you’ve done this before or are just eager to lend a hand, we welcome all volunteers. This is also a great chance to learn more about the boat and contribute to the program you’re a part of.

Zack Bayhan is leading the effort. If you have questions or want to coordinate your time, please reach out to him at bayhan.zack@uspatriotsailing.org.
