This 62 mile dash from San Diego to Ensenada marks the end of the summer season of Southern California Point-to-Point races and attracted over 80 entrants. Despite light air, Medicine Man covered the course in 6h 25m for an average speed of 9.7 knots and finished 45 minutes ahead of the next boat, a Santa Cruz 70. Congratulations to Bob and crew!

Andrews designs set a new course record and scored overall first and second places in Bayview YC's 253 mile Race to Mackinac Island on July 21. For the second weekend in a row Richard and Mary Compton's Andrews 77 Alchemy finished first in the race to Mackinac, this time setting a new monohull course record. Bill Alcott's Equation, an Andrews 68, was the next finisher and corrected time winner, just 3 minutes ahead of Alchemy on corrected time.  




Alchemy
, Mary and Richard Compton's new Andrews 77, lead the fleet from the Chicago start to the finish at Mackinac Island in the early hours of July 14. At the Manitou check-in Alchemy had stretched to a 3 1/2 hour lead over the next boat and despite running into a windless zone preserved more than an hour's lead over the chasing boats that brought new wind to the finish. At the island, Alchemy then quietly raised her 14 foot keel to a 9 1/2 foot draft for a prime berth at the shallow docks.
