In Class B, there were different winners each day. UNFURLED won in Race 1 but an equipment failure in Race 2 prevented her from finishing the course while the 60-metre HETAIROS took the win. The third day saw yet another vessel triumph with the 38-metre Perini Navi charter yacht P2 taking the overall win in the class.

The Class C saw the 59m ketch SEAHAWK, also available for yacht charter, take the early lead and consolidate her position with a second bullet in Race 2, ahead of the 50m OHANA.
