Results for Friday, August 19, 2005
After abandoning racing this morning in a dying east wind the race committee managed to run one good race today in a moderate west wind (8-12). During the pre-start maneuvers, Lars and Pete were sparring for the best start. This race would decide the regatta for them. The course was a W2 which meant that all boats had to go around the course 4 times. After two times around Ben Hall was in the lead and went for the finish. Unfortunately, there were still two more laps left. Ben lost a few places before he realized the error and mistakenly missed the downwind gate in all the confusion.

Congratulations to Pete Melvin! He is the 2005 A-Class Catamaran North American Champion.
