I remember that one well. The first two races were postponed due to bad weather and BIG water....when we finally got the green light to race, 15 "A class" boats headed out the inlet. 2 turned back and of the 13 who started, only 2 finished. Snakebite came in 2d (broken throttle) behind Mark Tangas' 30 ft'er who won in grand style. That was Some race. The Trump Princess (a majorly big yacht ) sat in the center of the race course, and you would loose sight of her between the huge swells.
