The J/24 US National Championship perpetual trophy will have a familiar name for 2019: Will Welles' on Buckaroo has achieved the title for the fourth time. Welles, also the reigning J/24 World Champion, was joined by crew Jeff Linton, Chris Morgan, Monica Morgan and Erik Rexford at Rochester Yacht Club in New York.

Buckaroo collected Sunday's first win and added a seven for 23 net points in the eight-race series. Able to discard a UFD from race five, Welles retained scores only in the top seven. Last year's National Champion Robby Brown and Mark Liebel on Angel of Harlem claimed the runner-up position with 38 points. William Bomar's Bangor Packet sailed an impressive regatta with a pair of bullets, putting them in third place with 41 points.

Joining Welles as a race winner on Sunday was Nobuyuki Imai's Siesta team from Japan. The 46 teams enjoyed a calmer sea state, sunny skies and winds of 8-12 knots.
