Are we still at 14 boats?

Yes But lots signed up for the parties

Day 2 Photos, https://www.flickr.com/photos/lacyphotos/sets/72157645928464402/. With much regret, only the Spin Boats were able to finish within the designated time limits and a shorten course. Tramp was able to anchor just outside of Marker 5A and shortened the course by almost three mile. With over two hours of no wind, even a shorten course could not finish the Non-Spins or the Cruising Class Boats within the designated time limits .

The after-race party at the Ellissa was fun. One of the best "Dance Teams" was the "Ruder Surf Team". A great end to a great Regatta! Thanks to all that made this event possible.
