It was described as a tricky day n the water yesterday out on the Coronado Rhoades. Boat speed did not necessarily get you to the top of the fleet, but rather a day where good strategy and tactics were a premium. The fact that there was a large cross swell did not make it any easier. The Camet family of father Dan and brothers Brian and Alex seemed to have found the most consistent performance and led after the day with   finishes of 2, 13 and 4.

The 35 competing boats came from as far as Seattle to the north and Texas to the East for this three-day regatta. The Mid-Winters West regatta is considered a significant run up to the Etchells North Americans to be held on the same waters later this year.

After the first day the leaders were as follows:

1. Brian Camet (SDYC) 19, 2. Chris Snow (SDYC) 21, 3. Vince Brun (SDYC) 27, 4. Geoff Davis (CorYC) 27, 5. Marvin Beckmann (Houston YC) 29
