Sept 17 & 20 (Wed and Sat)

A blustery midweek race on September 17 saw steady winds in the teens and eight boats on the line, with Goose taking first under the guidance of sailmaker Randy Shore. By Saturday, September 20, conditions turned unpredictable, with winds shifting wildly in strength and direction. Hi Toots! capitalized on the chaos to secure two first-place finishes, while Randy joined Bahama Gal to advise on future sail plans. The fleet looks ahead to next season with new spinnakers set to bring fresh color to the course.

• Race 1 (Fuller Labor Day Race & Fall Series #1):Hi Toots! (#15) took first place.
