Bermuda International Invitational -The Etchells Class went down to the wire. Tim Patton led Martin Vezina by a single point going into the final two races. Vezina got two second places and Patton took two thirds.

But there was a protest and counter protest between the two in a leeward mark rounding collision. Vezina went into the rounding with an inside overlap; but according to Patton's protest, Vezina made a tactical rounding, not a seamanlike one. When Patton started rounding up onto the wind, the two collided.

Patton got a DSQ from race nine following the protest. He finishes second with 15 points and Vezina takes first with 14. Malcolm Graham Taylor has 15 points for third. The DSQ did not change the overall results.
