Friday, June 29 2007: Seven boats registered, No wind - No races...
Saturday, June 30 2007: No wind - No races...

The regatta was a success - Wonderful parties, well organized lunches, participant gifts, and an especially organized regatta committee. The only thing missing was sailable wind.

Since no races were sailed, Bob Zak, the Principal Race Officer, declared the scheduled three races would be decided by three rolls of the dice. Ties would be broken by a roll-off. Any die rolling off the table would be scored as DNF. Each boat designated a "Lucky" person to throw the die. The order of rolling would be by boat number.

The crowd pressure under the tent on the lawn of WBYC reached a fever pitch. A hush literally fell over the crowd as the final roll-off to break the three-way tie was conducted. The last rolls yielded C-1 Felix Felices with a 3, M-9 Victory a 6, and W-3 Type A with a 4. Thus, C-1 Felix Felices captured second, W-3 Type A third, and M-9 Victory ended up fourth.
