Noddy, Billie P. Hall, Oliver’s Gift, and Silver Heel did not compete this weekend.
Two races were held on Sunday. The first started at 10:10am over a 6.26nm course; only 9 of the 14 canoes competed. Island Blossom got the gun! Island Bird and Persistence both capsized before the start scoring DNS, and Spirit of WyeTowne was unable to race due to her broken rudder. Magic capsized toward the end of the race and was also out for the next one.
The last race started at 2:10pm over a 4.21nm course; 8 of the 14 canoes competed. Island Lark got the gun for the second time this weekend! Island Bird capsized before the race scoring a DNS, Edmee S. was unable to compete for lack of crew, Magic was towed in after the first race, and Spirit of Wyetowne capsized next to a mark scoring a DNF.
