HYANNIS YACHT CLUB REGATTA-SUNFISH CLASS
Hyannis, MA Yacht Club

The Hyannis YC Annual Regatta is a large, multiclass event with 317 boats this year, it's 57th, in 13 classes on 5 starting circles plus an ocean racing class. The Sunfish were on a circle with Sr. Beetlecats and Mitey Mites, but unfortunately only six Sunfish showed up to race.

Friday and Saturday were sunny, with winds about 5 knots in the morning, building to 10-12 knots in the afternoon on both days. Four races were sailed each day. Sunday the wind came in strong, with gusts to 20 to 25 knots. The unfavorable weather conditions, including the threat of thunderstorms caused Sunfish and several other classes to be canceled so larger boats could sail on the more protected course.

Lee Parks dominated the no-throw-out series with a fourth and 7 bullets, while second and third were one point apart and 4th, 5th and 6th places were two points apart.
