A big thank you to Jim Albert for doing an exceptionally fine job of running races this season.
Final season results: We had six guest skippers, one of which, Rick Hanson, sailed enough races to qualify for for the series. After removing guest skippers that did not qualify during the season, here are the final season results.
| Pat Phelan | 97.0 |
| Kyle Hansonn | 73.4 |
| Mike Mays | 61.2 |
| Tom Compton | 49.3 |
| Rick Hanson | 48.8 |
| Bill Johnson | 30.8 |
| Gordon Black | 28.5 |
| Kevin DiMichele | 11.1 |
The rank-Sign is a statistical test that gives the probability that one competitor is better than another. The overall score given above is found by adding the rank-Sign values for a competitor and then scaling the results to run from 0 to 100%. This is the table after removal of guest skippers that did not quality.
We ran 46 races over the course of 20 scheduled evenings starting April 28th and ending September 8th. We missed three evenings because of weather (thunder storms, not lack of wind). Mike Mays managed to race 39 races.
Final results for the season including guest skippers:

Competitors can miss a lot of races and still score well in the fleet (as long as they beat other boats when they do sail). This means a guest skipper can score well while sailing many fewer races that regular skippers. Red indicates a cumulative score for a competitor that did not race that race.

Some minimum participation is needed before one can say a skipper has participated in a series. We chose six races sailing against 50% of the competitors as a cutoff point.
