It was the final night of the Whitecap series for the Thunderbirds. Dorado started the evening in first with four points and Corvo and Kuma San were tied for second with six points each. Eight boats showed up for some hard-fought racing in light to moderate winds. A shortish line made the starts interesting. The first race saw Dorado finish first, Corvo second, Owl third, and Kuma San fourth. In the second race Dorado and Falcon were over early. Dorado restarted and quickly made up time to take fourth place over Kuma San by about two seconds. Corvo got first. When all the figuring was done the top three for the series were Dorado (8), Corvo (9), and Kuma San (14). Thanks to all who raced, and to the race committee. It was good to have Bluebird back out racing with new owner Ken Lane. See all the results below.
