The first lap started out tough for regatta leader Tom Burton who was over the starting line along with Bob Biwer.  Bob had almost the best start as he reached down behind the boats lined up for the start and then jammed it up in a gap just before the gun. However, his timing was chosen for him by the circumstances and he ended up a couple of seconds early.  After the first upwind and downwind (Lap-1) Lon Schoor got around first with the luck of several small right shifts while staying just to the right of the fleet up wind - a lucky first leg since Lon was just below Bob on his early start and was left sitting on the starting line while everyone else took off.  Next was Kevin Jewett who slipped by Peter Holmberg  (the mystery guest) downwind, followed by Jim Gluek in 4^th, PJ Friend in 5^th, and Augie Barkow in 6^th. Note that Will Graves was 10^th and Tom Burton was 11^th. On Lap-2 it was Augie's turn as he moved up to second after Kevin Jewett. Will Graves moved into 4^th, following Lon, while Peter Holmberg slipped to 6^th, just behind Paul Biwer. The unfortunate were Jim Gluek dropping seven places, and Dick Wight dropping from 5^th to 12^th, but Tom Burton moved up to 9^th. On Lap-3 the first four places didn't change: Kevin, Augie, Lon, and Will. Will Hanckel was steadily passing a boat here and there and was now in 5^th. Paul Biwer in 6^th - Peter dropped a couple of more and was in 9^th. Dick Wight caught a couple and was right behind Tom Burton who was now in 10^th place. On Lap-4 Will made a big move jibing away at the weather mark and it was now Will in 1^st, Augie 2^nd, Kevin 3^rd, Lon 4^th, Peter 5^th, and Dick with jumping up 5 places to 6^th, while Tom remained in 10^th. That changed the regatta leader to Dick Wight. Will Hanckle's success was short lived, going from 5^th to 20^th. Ouch!  His 5^th place was taken over by Peter, and Jim Gluek made a nice recovery going from 13^th to 7^th. On the last leg of the race Dick had to keep 3 boats between him and Tom to win the regatta and he did, finishing with 27 points. The racing was tight and battles important all the way to the finish for the next group of boats because as you can see from the results there were four boats tied for second with 29 points. Will's win in the race put him in second for the regatta, Augie's 2^nd in the race gave him a 3^rd for the regatta.  See the results below for the rest of the details.
