That sucks, especially for those who traveled from out of town to do the run........

Polar fleece or smart wool and gortex. A complete outfit probably costs less then a couple Cigarette logo towels or a gold Fountain necklace.

It wasn't in the 40's by the time we started running hard, but it was cool and the wind was blowing hard out of the NW. The water conditions were rough, and there weren't many faces that arrived at Gilbert's that didn't have "salt tears"! It looked like the folks in the CC's handled their own, but other than the guys with the full canopies, you were likely cool, wet, and at least a little beat up by the time we arrived in any open boat!

I second that. I can't think of ANY sportboat, without a canopy, including Nor-tech's that has better wind protection for more people than the Nor-tech cc. Front three have floor to ceiling wind protection. Second row of three have better wind protection than front row behind an open go-fast windshield. Not all cc's are created equal.
