Widnall (1-3-3-1-4-4-2-1-6) had 25 points counting all nine and Farrar (6-1-1-8-2-2-5-2-2) had 29 points. The drops made them equal, but Widnall had more firsts and put his name on the Vrengen Gold Cup as his prize. Widnall also won the 5-race IOD 'A' series, Farrar was second and Jordy Walker took third. In the 4-race IOD 'B' series, Walker (5-5-7-3-1-1-6-1) took first, Farrar second and Widnall third.

In a classic Etchells battle, Peter Duncan (1-5-1-1-1-2-4-2) came second in the final race but nipped Tim Lynch (2-4-2-4-2-1-1-1) by a single point, 12 to 13, in the series. The two spent the three and a half lap course in a tack and cover duel. They finished in a nine-race tie at 17 points apiece. Lynch had bullets in the last three races but the drop of only a 4 vs. Duncan's 5 gave the K.F Trimmingham Trophy to Duncan. Tim Patton (4-2-7-2-5-3-3-4) came third.


Three points separated the top three in the J24 Class going into the last race. Bermudian Jon Corless (3-2-5-7-1-1-2-1-6) who had moved into a one-point lead took a sixth in the last race while Stuart Jardine, Lymington UK, (4-1-4-2-2-2-6-2-3) slipped by two boats at the finish line by only a metre to take third. The photo finish gave Jardine a one-point victory over Corless and the Gipper Trophy for his victory. Mike LEWIS (2-3-1-5-4-3-3-3-2) tied with Corless but Coreless ended up taking second and Lewis got third since he had only one first place race.


Adam BARBOZA and the Bermuda crew of Addiction (1-2-1-2-3-1-4) took a first and fourth in the final two J105 races to win the J105 class and the B.W. WALKER Memorial Trophy. Tom COTES' Masquerade (4-1-3-3-1-2-5) took second. Barboza match raced Coates in the final two races to protect his slim three-point victory. The two yachts had continued the competition in Bermuda that developed in Florida J105 Class racing this winter. Bermudian Glenn ASTWOOD (2-4-4-1-6-4-5-2) was third and happy with the performance of his less experienced crew.


Bermuda sailors also won all the dinghy classes. Chuck MILLICAN and Drew BUTTNER(1-5-2-2-2-4-1-2-1-1) won the 505 class four points ahead of Marylander John HAUSER and Sol MARINI(5-1-1-4-4-3-2-1-2-2). Bret WRIGHT (1-1-2-6-1-1-1-1-1) had a commanding 24-point win in the 18-boat laser class over Maryland's Bob Tan. Steve DICKINSON and Ty TROTT (1-1-4-2) took the Comets over James PERRY and Janet DEBRAGA (6-2-2-3). In the Snipes, Malcolm and Julie Smith (1-1-1-1) had a perfect regatta and led Gordan FLEMING and Patty MALONEY (2-2-3-2-3) Canadian Gordon FLEMING by five points.
