The first race in the Flying Scots started at 1100 hours. Great day with the wind at 14 knots with gust to 20. Only one boat flew a spinnaker in the first race. The "R" flag was flown for all the other races indicating no spinnakers. The boat rotation called for boats to be rotated after every 2 races. A double round robin was scheduled. Hillsdale misjudged a puff and capsized at the start of the third Race. The boat turtled requiring it to have to be broad ashore and pumped out. Four races were sailed before a lunch break. After the break another 4 races were sailed. The racing became more competitive as the day progressed on the four legged windward leeward course. Michigan State led all day with the rest of the pack changing places and ending up within points of each other at the end of the day.
The wind was a little light as the second day started. The fleet was held at the dock until 10:30 hours. The Race Committee found the wind from the same direction as it had been on Saturday and lowered the "R" flag for the first two races. There were several minor equipment issues at the first rotation. This involved topping lift controls so it was decided to restrict Spinnakers for the last two races as the wind was almost back to yesterday's values. Michigan State's had enough of a lead to win the regatta although they faltered slightly in the last two races.
