The daily leader of the J/70 North American Championship never changed over four days and 12 races. Thomas Bowen's Reach Around commanded the 32-boat fleet and earned the privilege of returning to host Club de Vela La Peña in Valle de Bravo Mexico to watch the final race from ashore. With crew Jacolyn Wetmore, Alec Anderson and Bill Hardesty, Bowen won a third of the races and didn't record a finish lower than 8 to end with 30 net points (discarding a DNC in race 12).

Fellow American Oivind Lorentzen's Nine sailed a solid series, but settled for second place with 46 points. Ander Belausteguigoitia's Bandoola of Mexico took third place with 71 points. Winning the Corinthian division was Hector Guzman Gonzalez's Escipion.

Picture perfect conditions again greeted competitors on Saturday with winds at 10-14 knots. Fernando Stephan Gutierrez seized the first win of the day, with Lorentzen and Diego Berho's BBB behind him. Lorentzen concluded the Championship on a high note, followed by Chris Snow's Mexigenics and Ignacio Perez's Zaguero.
