The regatta was held in very light, shiftly north-east breeze which was a big challenge to all competitors and the race committee. Doug Kane did a wonderful job as race officer enabling to keep the regatta moving despite the very light conditions.
14 races were completed and all 20 competitors seemed happy with how the regatta went.
