The Sunday leg of the race started at 9:00 a.m. and all but one of the boats finished between 1:00 and 2:00 p.m.
Only 13 of the original 21 boats completed the entire course.
In addition to the four that succumbed to boredom and dropped out Saturday due to lack of wind, another four who DID finish Saturday night did not start Sunday's leg. Non-starters were John McLaughlin, Nacra 20; Matt McDonald, Blade F16; Marc Newlyn, Nacra 6.0; and Clive Mayo, A-Class.
Don't even ask me why Clive was in there with a singlehander. For years it has been an unwritten rule about this race that singlehanders are not allowed, for safety reasons. I thought it WAS in writing, but apparently not. Needless to say, the rule WILL be in writing for next year's race.
