The third and final match was three races to determine the top two finishers.
Chase boats, mark boats, and umpire boats were on the water until about 2:30 p.m.
Results were as follows: Michael Green of St. Lucia was the overall winner, Scott Stanton of St. Croix took second and Chris Rosenberg of St. Thomas placed third. St. Croix’s Chris Schreiber was fourth followed by Andrew Waters of BVI tied for fifth with Karl James of Antigua, Fletcher Pitts of St. John tied for sixth place with Frits Bus of St. Maarten. The Race Committee is already planning next year's third annual match racing event.
