The Potter Yachter Senior Moment Award Due to circumstances beyond human control, the announced race course was changed to a shorter course as the downwind marker could not be found. However, two boats did not get the word and sailed the original, and much longer, course (and did find the downwind marker that had been cleverly moved). Without doubt, both boats were the fastest on the course and would have swept the race had they sailed the shortened course. As the skippers performed in an exemplary manner, displayed exceptional sailing skills, and upheld Potter Yachter traditions, the race committee awarded The Potter Yachter Senior Moment Award to: CLASS B Goshawk (Sage 17), we can’t remember the skipper’s name CLASS C Sarah Anne (WWP-15), ditto

Eight intrepid skippers, some with one or more crew, sailed their boats from Moss
Landing to Monterey on Friday, raced on Saturday, and braved the initial fog on
the windy sail back to Moss Landing on Sunday. For going above and beyond expectations
while sticking with the spirit of a "Cruiser's Challenge", these fine sailors each received
a medal of honor (which they wore at every opportunity). The inscription on the back reads:
Moss Landing to Monterey
Cruise to CC18
