Racing was close between Biff Martin , Stan Goodwin. and John Whalen. each held the lead at some point. Biff and Stan ended up tied. Biff won the Cup because he had one more first."

Craig Speck on Behalf of Standley Goodwin

Two sailors showed up for the Chandler Hovey Cup. The wind was light to medium southerly with some shifts. The racing was much closer than the scores showed. Stan won the last race by a bumper. A couple of other races could have easily gone Marcel's way if the wind gods had favored him. Stan won the cup.

Five skippers showed up for the M Class Region 1 Championship. It was sailed in a light breeze that went from South to East. Sixteen races were sailed with one throwout due to low water. The contest quickly settled down to a battle between John Whalen and Biff Martin. At race 15 Biff and John were tied. Race 16 ended with Biff finishing 6 inches in front of John. As a result Biff won the Region 1 Championship.

Six M Class sailors showed up to sail the Dexter Goodwin Cup. They sailed nine races in a very light and shifty mostly southwest breeze. After nine races Stan Goodwin was only three points ahead of Biff Martin. There was a close contest for third between Rick Gates and Tom Hayden. At the end Rick was one point ahead of Tom.

Five sailors appeared to race in M Class race #6. The race was sailed in a light shifty easterly. This race was unusual in that all five skippers had at least one first. Everyone also had at least one last. The point spread from second to fifth was only 9 points. This is pretty tight racing in anybody,s book
