Day Two earned Young and crew a second, two fifths and a seventh. “We went out too defensive and lost our mojo, said Young. At the start of Day Three, the strategy was to “sail as if we were behind”. Two points up going into the last race, Young chose the left side, started at the pin, nailed the start and went left. The left filled in and being in the clear brought him to the windward mark 3 boat lengths ahead of Bolyard.

After today’s racing, David Bolyard, Jr. joked that he was tired of Silver. He took a second in the Sears Cup last year. But, this 18 year old college freshmen has won two Junior Lipton’s (in ‘04 and ‘05) and came in second this year. We’ll see him in headlines in the future.

Racing this week was blessed with the best conditions -- sunny and various winds -- great for a championship. This allowed the Race Committee to stay on schedule with only two races to finish today as planned. Today featured an “A” and a “B” course of 5 legs to give the racers “a little something extra,” said one race official. C.H. Ritt, Boston Yacht Club’s Commodore and this week’s PRO, said the best part of the pulling this all together was to be blessed by great weather and supported by a wonderful team”.
