With light winds in the forecast, PRO Dick Clark wisely chose to set the starting line just beyond Mile Buoy, near the old Monterey Bay Boatworks. It meant a long sail and more ocean chop, but with a better chance of getting in four races to complete the series.
Several fog banks moved through in the course of the afternoon, resulting in more wind (up to 8 knots) as each bank approached and less (near zero) as the fog departed. Sausage courses were used-- three doubles and one single. The last race saw fog set in over the entire area, making for an eerie sail along the kelp and back to the harbor.
Seven boats competed, with Dave Morris and Gabe Gargiulo dominating the day with straight firsts to win the series handily over Jim and Kathy Bradly. Mark and Liz Chandler were third. Austin Book and Ashley Hobson in #416 took the Silver Division prize, despite losing their mast in the third race when a lower shroud let go.
