Canada has won the regatta and New York is apparently second but the results aren't official yet. Well-sailed Canada!

End in Sight


Spinnakers to the finish

Oh Canada

At the penultimate mark, it's Canada, Capri, RORC, Annapolis, Finland, Eastern, Argentina, Itchenor, Japan, Portugal and NYYC. The New Yorkers have made up three places on that leg.

After the Start



Boats bunched at the committee boat end. NYYC and Canada mixing it up before the gun. Seem very interested in each other.

Five minutes Until the Start

Remember us. Start at 11:50. Very light.

New Course

Same bearing to the weather mark 170 degrees. However the course has been shortened. The first weather mark is 1.6; the next is 1.3.

Waiting for the AP flag to drop.
