their classes to the gold.In the J/30s, it was Ron Anderson's INSATIABLE that lead the fleet home by over two minutes. Second was Tom Watson's AVITA and third was Bob Putnam's BETTER MOUSETRAP.
In the J/35s, Peter Schedit's MAGGIE won by over 6 minutes over fellow 35 sailor Bruce Artman on T-BONE. Third was BAD COMPANY sailed by the Bad Boys syndicate.
Finally, amongst the largest one-design fleet in the event, it was the J/105 RUM PUPPY skippered by Jack Biddle finding his form again with a rock-star crew to win by nearly 1:30 over Hugh Betchell's JESTER. Third was Chuck Shortz's SINGULARITY, fourth was Andrew Kennedy's BAT IV and fifth was Walter Nuschke's ZEPHYR.
