• On the evening of Thursday, July 3, some coastal fog only added to the atmosphere at the Hull Yacht Club on as 16 boats came out to the line for a combined Hingham/Hull race night. There was a threat of hit-or-miss thunderstorms in the early evening around 8-9 p.m., with a chance of some becoming severe. Dave Nelson and the Hingham RC worked quickly to get in two races before the storm threat, and all boats arrived safely back to their respective clubs. Razzmatazz, roger that!, and Rhodeo rounded out the top three for the night.

Bailing boats was the theme for the evening of Thursday, July 10, as the day was marked by significant rainfall. Fourteen boats managed to bail, sponge, and pump to get ready. Four races under the direction of Tom Monti and the Hull RC with winds of 10-12 knots and flat seas made for a stellar night of racing. More fog greeted the fleet upon the return to the mooring field followed, by an excellent post-race porch feast. Razzmatazz, Full Circle, and El Packo finished in the top three for the event.
