July 26 - Race Results

Looks like the Jumpin Jack Flash is going to be a 110 to reckon with. In her second debut with her new owner and captain, she took home one second and two firsts. One first place finish was after she crossed the line early, bumped into the Eagle, went back over the starting line and did a 360 then proceeded to chase down the fleet.
After the season is half over, the standings are:
1st - 245 Malihini 14 pts
2nd - 698 Red Witch 20 pts
3rd - 35 Nymph 24 pts
4th - 272 Eagle 47 pts.

Boats with not enough races:
240 Scoop 52 pts
545 Jumpin Jack Flash 13 pts
669 Red Baron 30 pts
507 Independence 33 pts
676 Yankee 11 pts
