The West Kirby Hawks were runners-up in the Hinman Trophy (the US Team Racing Championship) to the NYYC Silver Panda team. The event was hosted by the Seattle Yacht Club.
The Hawks (Dom Johnson/ Debs Steele, Andy Cornah/Hamish Walker, Ben Field/Tom Foster) reached the finals but lost on count back, by one point, after the tie brake was abandoned due to lack of wind. They had, however, beaten Silver Panda in their last encounter.
