Queens Cup


Nice Pair skipperd by Bruce Geffen was the first boat to finish in a time of 6 hours 15 minutes an average speed of 10.95 knots. The cat had the these conditions: “Spinnakers at the start with 10-15 knots. Slowly changing to beam reaching and building a bit. It then went back to west southwest and dropped in velocity a bit and the spinnaker went up for the last 20-25 miles.”

Denali which made the trip over from Lake Huron was the 1st mono hull to finish taking 6 hours 46 minutes to cover the 68 mile course.

Cynthia, a Morgan 41 sailing in Division 8, claimed the Silvie Trophy as the overall winner on corrected time.

Winds as predicted, were moderate with 10 knots being the peak. Also as expected wins began the race in the southerly quadrant and then went to the west and north.
