We had a record turnout of 34 boats for the Schoonmaker Cup held on November 15-16. With the Olympics and US trails coming up quite a few top American and some foreign teams were also in attendance. In fact many boats were seen out the previous week out training and getting ready for a great winter season. The weather was beautiful as usual and 3 races were held on Saturday with an oscillating 10 knot easterly.

On Sunday we had 2 more races in a slightly windier southeasterly. The Coral Reef YC race committee did an awesome job running course 4 for each race. Peter Bromby with Lee White and Martin Siese sharing crewing duty led the whole regatta. Howie Shiebler and Will Stout were close behind almost getting the Bermudians in the final race.
