.
The use of the 8 skipper 4 boat format proved to be very appealing to the competitors as it provided boat rotation and shore time for the competitors. The two day weekend format and complementary motel rooms also proved popular with the umpires and out of town competitors.
.
The event was conducted as an open event with both men and women teams. With 8 teams competing the event may be upgraded by the International Sailing Federation from a grade 5 event to a grade 4 event. The upgrading results in more match racing ranking points being awarded to each of the skippers based on their finish position.
