Putting in mildly, the conditions were pretty uncomfortable for the nine boats and 65 souls that headed out of the Wellington Heads to complete the 30 mile course to Baring Head and Sinclair Head.Ā Of the fleet that left RPNYC at 10am, six completed the course in under five hours, including After Midnight, the only 8m yacht.
Boats: 88% Proof, After Midnight, Blink, Bullistic, Gucci, The Guarantee, Vendetta, Wiseguy, Zimmerframe Racing Team II
The race management crew for the day were Pedro Morgan, Esther Prince, Jim Gordon, Sarah Williams and Mel Zytecka.
