The Wednesday evenings and Quissett competition keeps getting better and better. On July 30, three S boats and 13 H12s competed in the first August series race and enjoyed fantastic conditions with a steady 10-12 knots breeze blowing out of the south-southwest. Starting off the mouth of the harbor at mark S, the S class was sent to Stoney Beach mark A twice around while the H12s sailed a similar course to mark V. After a close start in the S class, Jeff Whittle, Kirsten Karplus and Fred Ravens in Aeolus grabbed an early lead and held off the chasers for the entire race—certainly many stories remain to be told but the action all happened out of the sight of the race committee.
