DOUBLE HANDED RACE
• Jib & Main Class A •

First on Corrected Time

This race was created in 1986 by Regatta chair Peter Phillips as a revival of an earlier race for short-handed crew. In 1972 Regatta co-chairs Hal Greig and Bob Vitali created the Single Handed Race, which, after declining participation, was last raced in 1978 – a few high-winded races produced some scary tales, and the Regatta Committee of the time decided the race was too risky to continue. Phillips rightly guessed that a race for two would be safer and more acceptable than a race for one, yet would offer a similar challenge.

There never have been any trophies for this event, and results were not saved until 1994, and some of those intervening years are missing.
