The first race started in a 10-knot southeasterly with two-foot chop. The wind built throughout the day to 12-15 with two- to three-foot chop. The shifts were primarily velocity.

Emery WAGER (Seattle, WA) leads the 35-boat Laser fleet with a (5)-1-1-1 followed by Mike WILDE (Rochester, NY) with all deuces. Kyle KOVACS (13 points), Rob CRANE (14) and Thomas BARROWS (15) are in third, fourth and fifth, respectively, separated by just a point. Although a couple Laser sailors received "advice" from the jury, no illegal kinetics were observed.

Last year's runners-up Zach BROWN and Melanie ROBERTS (San Diego, CA) lead the 54-boat Club 420 fleet with a 1-1-3-(4). Their most significant lead was in the first race where they finished nearly a minute before the next boat. Charles MODICA and Patrick BORDNER are in second with 3-8-(9)-3. Leigh Kempton and Kaitlin STORCK (Huntington, NY) are running a close third with scores of (38)-2-14-1. Adam ROBERTS/Nicholas MARTIN are fourth (19 points) and Erik STORCK/John KEMPTON are fifth (20).

Seven more races are scheduled from today through until Thursday. The low-point scoring system is being used with a discard after four races. Today's racing was scheduled to begin at 11:00 a.m. The forecast is for SSW 10-20 knot.
