COMMENT FROM WINNER:
Nice clear start for all boats, Tap Dancer forced TBP up under spinnaker, all boats had problems holding their spinnakers at West Point because of the cross winds, around north side of the island the fleet divided into those who followed the close-in to the island and far out, TBP went far out, tacked into Horseshoe Bay. Come by Chance, Tapdancer and TBP had to bear off to avoid trawlers nets which slowed their times somewhat. The last leg was a spinnaker run from Orchard Rocks and all boats held their places till the finish line.

Early in week forecast was up to 30 knots, yesterday 25 knots, but wind for race ranged between 8 to 16 knots )
