  # Penalized one lap for missing buoy. NOTE: The "fan plan" was used for scoring with different points awarded depending on which "flight" the boat appeared in. The slowest boats were in 1-A & 2-A, the faster boats in 1-B & 2-B and the fastest boats in 1-C & 2-C.

NOTE: Points awarded in Heat 3 were 50% greater than those accorded the fast boats in Heats 1-C & 2-C
