12 meter north american championships

FINAL DAY 12 METER NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIPS

A fine south west breeze greeted the fleet on the final day of racing. Three races completed before the prize awarding at Ida Lewis Yacht Club.

RACE, BUT NO RACE

The wind never appeared for the final day of racing for the 12 meter north american championships. That meant that the 12’s could not race, but the power boats could. Victory ’83 beat Courageous by one point in six races. I had stated earlier this was the only real race. Sorry to the others.

I am have often teased about big boats, like Rambler 100 having horsepower; it is seldom I see a boat with 1200 horsepower, in outboards!
