The A Fleet pairing of Thomas DeRose and Alysa Jette and the B Fleet crew of Jack Crager and Isabella Seminario combined for 43 points to tie Rye High School, ultimately losing the tiebreaker with fewer first place finishes. A Fleet earned one 1st place finish and two runner-up finishes over the six races while B Fleet sailed to a 1st place finish and a runner-up.
