Congratulations to the winners below. Awards will be presented in October, details to follow. Up next: Corinthian Classic Yacht Regatta, Nantucket Regattas, and Opera House Cup, which will make up the rest of the Massachusetts events.

CRF Maine Division Standings

Note: Some regattas group boats differently for racing purposes. For Series scoring, we re-sort the results by CRF Division listed on the boat's Certificate by Corrected Time not the original event class place. Therefore, a finish position at a regatta might differ from the Series Division standing. Also, we remove the ERR Handicap.
