Race Results

 

Eleven boats assembled for another 'chamber of commerce' day on Mt Desert Island.  A west breeze greeted the sailing competition which originated from Fleet Mark A and went out around Little Duck Island and back. Four boats were solo and they enjoyed the nice long sail without having to tack once. The Big Red Boat "Far Out' started second to last but began to pick off boats as they turned Little Duck. Owner and Helm Hal Kroeger put the victory in the bank when he passed the Luders Class boats upon entering the Western Way. The smaller boats would not let Far Out pass to windward and forced the eventual winner to pass to leeward. Sidewinder followed closely and then Ranger was right on their heels. Commodore Bob Johnstone in Tern was next and he took the cannon as the first non-spinnaker boat in the race.
