“Whisper was on port and looked to be ducking us, but I guess his mainsheet got stuck or something and he couldn’t avoid hitting us,” said Simmons.
“Our goal is to seek redress for both of today’s races and get this fixed before tomorrow.”

Expeditious suffered from a horrific spinnaker broach in race one and had to call it a day.

But they didn’t, and when the boom hit the water, Expeditious almost pitch-poled. By the time the crew got sorted, there was no time left to avoid running aground just yards away from the observation decks at the St. Francis Yacht Club. To make matters worse, a spinnaker sheet wrapped around the propeller when the decision was make to start the engine. Golden Moon went on to finish 1-2 for the day and maintain her lead from yesterday while Blade Runner posted a 2-1 to move into second. Expeditious fell to third scoring a DNF for both races.
