July 8-9, 2000
Saturday morning three races were sailed in a dying northwest breeze with the sailors from the South Shore of Massachusetts, Anne Buccella, Bill Brangiforte and Scott Greenbaum demonstrating their light air skills. In the afternoon nary a competitor could beat the infamous Vineyard Sound current to get to the starting area so were sent ashore for an early dinner.
On Sunday four races were held in a freshening southwest breeze and at the end of the day only four points separated the top four skippers. Anne Buccella of Weymouth, MA was first, Bill Brangiforte of Weymouth second, Ken Mockridge of Center Moriches, NY third and Scott Greenbaum of Scituate, MA in fourth. 13 year old Joey Copeland of Fall River, MA was the youngest sailor on the course and appeared undaunted by the level of competition.
