The breeze on Sunday quickly built to the mid teens from the East with gusts in the later afternoon nearing 20. Once the breeze picked up the course was shifted from a W4 to Inner and Outer trapezoids. In the close racing, with finals' berths on the line, competitors were not letting anyone slide, resulting in 4 DSQs for the day. Some of the toughest battles where in the fight for 9th, winning the US Sailing Grit Award for the Western Fleet is Wisconsin.

A huge thanks to PRO, Gary Bodie, Chief Judge, Jeff Borland, and judges Max Plarr, Chris Klevan, and Andrew Vann.
