The final day of competition in the Bermuda J105 Invitational Regatta, got underway shortly after the breeze filled in.
With everything to sail for the teams had a single race to decide the local winner, and a single race to decide the international winner, plus a race back to Hamilton Harbour to round out the event.
Race 9 had two general recalls before the race committee, led by Charles Tatem, resorted to starting under more punitive conditions – anyone over the line early now had to restart by rounding the end of the line.
The racing finally got underway in the freshening conditions, and the win went to Back in Black, with Elusive and Yabsta finishing 2nd and 3rd.
Race 10 started under the “black flag rule” – anyone over early now was out of the race – this enabled an orderly start, and after three circuits of the course the win went to Mayhem, followed by Elusive and Back in Black.
The event now concluded with a long distance race back to Hamilton Harbour, taking in the Small Sound and the channel up to dockyard. Mayhem took line honors and won the “Bermuda Project Managers” prize.
The “Tops Limited” boat of the day was Back-in-Black.
