Dave and crew just nicely clear the RC boat and ...
...  

... bear away with a nice puff. If they sailed the boat flat or with a touch of windward

... Mo meanders down the final part of his run.

First-place Marc and Al (3854) hope to beat Scot 5219 across the line. It will be ...
...

... close!
...

Coming in behind this Scot is second-place ...
...

... Peter Rahn with Frank Goulay.
...

A clear 3rd for Nick and Joe once more - a fine comeback after a bad first beat.

Framed by two Scots is Jim Lingeman ...
...

... who keeps his Non-Spinnaker hopes glimmering ...
...

... by beating out Gale Shoemaker (4106).
...

Joe DeBrincat (1115) snags a 6th ahead of Richard Johnson (10139) who made it
back to 7th after rounding 12th off the first beat - a lovely comeback!
...

The next four boats were very close: Eddy Kraft (behind the RC boat) ...
...

... ended up 8th, beating ...
...

... Mike Murto (2959) who in turn just nudged out ...
...

... Ted Benedict (2415) and ...
...

... Robert Hart (10195).
...

Mo Metcalf (10245) made big gains on the final beat but Dave Hepting hung on to beat Murphy's Law across the line.
