| ♂ KSC #1 Hatsushima Race | CR 4th prize |
| Team members became able to look for currents and wind blowing lines which affect boat speed favourably. Thus Team NAVI has accumulated skills and night sailing experiences. | |
| ♂ KSC #2 Oshima Race | CR 4th prize |
| NAVI met with a manbow 5 miles to Hatsushima. NAVI passed Hatsushima first in the CR class thanks to the good skill to watch the water surface, however lost 2 hours off Motomachi captured by a calm wind and a strong current. After passing Ryuozaki Navi sailed arong Oshima's coastal line, which however was not a good choice to win the game. | |
| ♂ KSC #3 Hatsushima Race | CR Winner(1st prize) |
| The wind blew up to 35 knots. NAVI swam like a fish. Team members were in hot water which was coming aboard continuously. The mainsail and a 0.75 oz spinnaker got damaged. | |
| ♂ KSC #4 Tokyo's Cup Race | DNF |
| It is a big mistery how several boats could have finished in a weak southern wind and a strong current which penetrated across the racing cource. | |
| ♂ KSC #5 Mikurajima Race | no race |
| Most boats could not challenge the race due to its inconvenient schedule. | |
| ♂ KSC #6 Mikomoto Race | DNF |
| The wind was estimated to have been blowing up to 40 knots, though Ockam system was in disorder. Since #3 jib and the mainsail were torn, Navi sailed with a trisail and #4 jib after passing Mikomoto. However Team decided to retire from the game amid navigation from Kazehaya to Jogashima, where the Odawara Casle and the Statue of Tokyo-Kannon could be seen very clearly. | |
| ♂ KSC #1 Hatsushima Race | CR 2nd prize |
| NAVI finished first in the CR class, while a 30 footer boat which finished 30 minutes after NAVI won the game due to the handycap rating. NAVI should have used a 0.75 oz spinnaker instead of 1.5 oz's in the outbound leg where the wind blew up to 22 knots. | |
| KSC ♂ #2 Oshima Race | CR 3rd prize |
| After passing Ryuozaki NAVI sailed with an one point leaf mainsail only. Team avoided to use a spinnaker, because it was estimated that doing so would not bring the second prize to NAVI. Off Hayama, where the finishing line lay, NAVI awaited Hayama fleet's GAIA to follow in order to avoid to touch fishery nets and rocks in the very dark night. SEA HAWK hit Najima rocks at the time. | |
| ♂ KSC #3 Hatsushima Race | no race |
| The wind blew strong just as same as in the last year's race, while the wind direction was somewhat more westerly and the water surface off Koajiro was in bad condition for the race committee to set up the starting line. | |
| ♂ KSC #4 Tokyo's Cup Race | CR 3rd prize |
| NAVI could find a narrow path and continued sailing toward Toshima, although many boats could not sail against a strong current flowing the Kazehaya/Motomachi range and had to retire from the game. The weather was moderate and Team members enjoyed night sailing to the finishing line. I was very regret that a 30 footer boat got the 2nd prize though they finished 3 hours later than Navi. | |
| ♂ KSC #5 Mikurajima Race | no race |
| Due to earthquakes and volcano activities in Izu islands, the race schedule was canceled. | |
| ♂ KSC #6 Hatsushima Race | DNF |
| NAVI sailed first in the CR class until five miles to the finishing line followed by UFO, where a left sidestay cut and NAVI got dismasted. | |
| ♂ KSC #7 Mikomoto Race | DNC |
| Team members could have enjoyed an abeam moderate wind and the weather in both outbound and inbound legs, if NAVI participated the game. | |
