Distance: 1800 m
Conditions: The course was shortened to 1800 m due to a strong, spring Chinook run on the Willamette. Crews Raced with tail wind and tail current. Weather was overcast with light rain and slight chop. The MV8, M2V8 and WV8 raced with significant wake activity. The rest of the day, the course was clear.
