On Saturday, the Newport Yacht Club Race Committee ran two races. The first was a 4 mile Windward-Leeward at 185 degrees sailed in 12-15 knots of breeze starting from the Half-Way Rock area east of Jamestown. MASQUERADE picked the weather layline perfectly in the ebbing tide and rounded ahead of NO SURRENDER, closely followed by the rest of the fleet. NO SURRENDER was still behind at the leeward mark, but managed the pass for first. The second race was W-L twice around with the wind to the right by 15 degrees. MASQUERADE got the early lead, but lost a piece of it on each downwind leg. KIMA stuck close and passed a couple of boats by going right with MASQUERADE on the second beat. KIMA dropped her chute in the water at the second leeward mark, but a quick recovery and a couple of fortuitous tacks put her overlapping MASQUERADE at the finish. Bill Riggs in RIGADOON had two respectable thirds for a tie for third on the day.
On Sunday the RC postponed for about 50 minutes while they waited for an uncooperative breeze to fill in from the north. They set a weather mark of the R"8" Bell off Northwest Point of Patience Island. After another short postponement due to a premature drop of their class flag, the five J/105's started in a light northerly. KIMA and WET PAINT sailed left for more breeze while NO SURRENDER, RIGADOON and RED went right to get current relief off the south end of Prudence. The left looked marginally better as the fleet bogged down as the wind died between Hope and Prudence. But as they approached Despair Island, a 100 degree lefty filled in with vigor, and KIMA and WET PAINT were lauched for the mark far ahead of the others on the Prudence shoreline. After rounding the mark, the fleet was on a close spinnaker reach with KIMA leading WET PAINT by 6 minutes. When the fleet reached the north end of Jamestown, the wind died again and then shifted left another 100 degrees so the fleet finished the leg on a light air beat. NO SURRENDER played the transitions a bit better than WET PAINT and passed after jibing to port to catch the new breeze first. The committee ended the race at G"17" east of Gould with KIMA having maintained its substantial lead over NS and WP.

Meanwhile, NO SURRENDER and SANDPIPER (one and two after Saturday) match raced around the whole island. They both ducked in toward the west shore to get more breeze going north. Instead they got less breeze and less favorable current. T-SQUARED, KIMA, and RIGADOON pulled ahead in the middle with more breeze and favorable current. Just after passing under the Jamestown bridge, KIMA's spinnaker shackle let go and the crew quickly brought it aboard, lowered the jib and reraised the spinnaker on the jib halyard. After an early takedown, they had lost only one boat at the mark. Going into the first of the north end marks, RIGADOON, KIMA, SANDPIPER, WET PAINT and NO SURRENDER were all closely bunched, while Charles Townsend's T-SQUARED had a comfortable lead around the top and finished second for the day.
Coming back south down the east side of Jamestown, the fleet again had to buck an unfavorable current and the faster boats overtaking from the rear (including two twelve meters, a fleet of Farr 40's, a fleet of Mumm 30's, and a slew of PHRF boats). RIGADOON kept hold on third going through the Newport Bridge with the crews getting a workout short tacking the shore. SANDPIPER tacked almost 50 times on NS and briefly passed KIMA, but then blew a jib car and overstood the center span of the bridge while they made repairs, losing valuable time and distance. At the bridge KIMA used a FARR 40 as a blocker (preventing RIGADOON from covering) and headed to the back eddy on the west shore. Third through seventh finishes went KIMA, RIGADOON, WET PAINT, SANDPIPER, and NO SURRENDER, all within a New York minute. Jack Colby's NO SURRENDER had surrendered 6 points to MASQUERADE and 4 points to Nelson Weiderman's KIMA, giving her second place for the regatta on a tiebreaker over KIMA.
On Saturday, the racing was held in Block Island Sound in a more leisurely, but steady, 8-10 knots of breeze. The RC set a four leg windward leeward course with 1.5 mile legs in the southerly after waiting for nearly an hour for the breeze to build. The first race was dominated by four boats closely vying for the lead. By the first time around, WET PAINT and SANDPIPER were ahead, but closely trailed by NO SURRENDER and KIMA. But PAINT and PIPER went left but the right paid off for NS and KIMA and they managed to pass. At the top of the second lap it was NS, KIMA closely followed by PAINT and PIPER. They all finished closely bunched with MASQUERADE and KETCHUPLESS not far behind. Jack Colby's NS took the honors followed by Nelson Weiderman in KIMA and Don Priestly in PAINT.
The second race was shortened to 1.0 mile legs. The first leg found SANDPIPER first at the top mark followed by less than a boatlength by NS, PAINT, and MASQUERADE. taking the early lead. By the bottom mark there were five boats rounding closely with KIMA making a recovery from an OCS. Bob Taylor's borrowed SANDPIPER held on for the first with NS second, and MASQUERADE third.
