Living up to its reputation, San Diego delivered a perfect racing weekend for the 20 Capri 14.2s and their crews as they gathered for the 21st annual Capri 14.2 National Regatta. The skies were clear, 70 degrees, with 7-9 knots of breeze on Saturday and 4-6 knots on Sunday. Five fleets were represented, Fleet 2 (San Diego), Fleet 5 (Los Angeles), Fleet 21 (Lake Mission Viejo), Fleet 22 (Mountain View), and Fleet 24 (Phoenix).
San Diego’s Scott Finkboner and Jennifer Lyons won the championship by sailing an almost-perfect regatta with four bullets and two seconds. Trophy winners were (total points in parens):
