The week was full of exciting events to end a hard day of racing - Cocktail parties at YCCS, BBQ at Bitter End, and a Dinner/Cocktail Reception at Oil Nut Bay. None as exhilarating as the races themselves.
Day 1: Was taken by Robertissima, winning race 1 and 3, while Volpe took Race 2.
Day 2: Argo stole the lead in Race 3 from Inga from Sweden to win all three races for the day.
Day 3: Robertissima walked away with all three wins.
