Blouin and Domino recorded four top five finishes in the seven A Division races, while Larmore and Smith finished in the top five in four of the seven B Division races.

Two teams representing ninth-ranked hosted College of Charleston finished first and second at the SAISA/MAISA regatta, followed by fourth-ranked St. Mary's in third. Four races in each division were completed in a light and shifty northerly on Saturday. The remaining three races in each division were sailed on Sunday in an eight to ten knot southerly that filled in after noon.
