Hosted at Wickford, Rhode Island and racing on Narragansett Bay, the ten 420 teams contested an 8 race series.

Dylan Ascencios/Nick Chisari took the early running, racking up back to back wins in the opening two races, before J C Hermus/Walter Henry could break through the fleet to take their first win in race 3. Michelle Lahrkamp/Gabriella DelBello went on to claim race 4 victory, and that is how the series unfolded with the race wins swapping between teams, as 5 different partnerships featured at the front.

Going into the final race Hermus/Henry and Ascencios/Chisari were on tiebreak, each counting 11 points, with Lahrkamp/DelBello on 15 points. In a who dares win battle to finish ahead of each other, Hermus/Henry and Ascencios/Chisari fought their own battle, leaving room for Patrick Wilson/Arie Moffat to claim a race win. Ultimately, Hermus/Henry crossed the line in 4th, with Ascencios/Chisari crossing in 6th, the same way the podium ended. Third overall to Lahrkamp/DelBello.
