The Barbarian II, skippered by Delworth Gibson, took second place with 12 points after three second place finishes as she simply could not figure out how to catch the sloop sponsored by Coca Cola.

Springfield, skippered by Alfred Johnson, was third with 10 points after third, fourth and third place finishes.

Hummingbird, skippered by Clifton Wells, took fourth with seven points.

The Blue Shadow, skippered by Ivan Bowe, rounded out the top five with four points.
