Leg 1 started at Red Nun 24 near Hambrooks Light and finished at Red Nun 2 at Tred Avon Yacht Club. (8.7 NM.) Engine time proved to be a significant factor. Whistle Jacket managed to finish 50 seconds before the deadline of 12:30 PM.

Engine minutes:seconds    Penalty(2x)
Whistle Jacket  8:22                16:44
Gabrielle          17:25               34:50

As usual the crab cakes were worth the slow boat ride. 

Leg 2 was also shortened. After a trial start near Red 2, the fleet motored out to Choptank Light to find some light, but, workable wind. After conditions deteriorated, the course was shortened to end at 19A. (4.45 NM.) Four crews let their skippers nap for more than 2 hours to finish the race,. Two boats motored home.
