The event was held 9/19-20.
Winds of 22+ with a little rain greeted the sailors. The first race was sailed at 10 am, but the wind continued to build with gusts in the 28-30 knot range and sailing was postponed. After a lunch break the winds gradually subsided to the 20 knot range and the second race was started. Only one capsize resulted. This resulted in the fleet being reduced to 4 boats for the remaining 4 races. Racing was concluded at about 5:30 with 6 races completed.
Sunday morning found the winds in the 6-8 knot range. which made going up against the 5 knot current challenging. The 7th race saw the wind drop out just enough that only 2 of the 5 boats were able to finish in the time limit. The wind came up enough to finish off the remaining 3 races to complete the double round-robin.
