Race control shortened one leg for the classics, letting the wooden hulls keep pace with the schedule and finish before the evening lull.

  • Downwind starts kept the sail inventory simple for smaller crews
  • Harbor spectators lined the rocks to cheer the historic rigs
  • Several family teams logged their first offshore finish

The vintage division became an instant fan favorite, cementing its place in future editions as a living link to the race history.
