official race since lockdown was imposed on August 17. “It is just wonderful to see all the boats bringing the Waitemata Harbour back to life after all this time,” commented a passer-by who stopped to watch the start. A fleet of nearly 40 yachts enjoyed sunny conditions and a 10-12 knot north easterly as it
paraded down the harbour. Auckland resumed its mantle as the City of Sails once more. At the head of the fleet, the big guns battled hard for line honours, with Wired taking the honour, followed by Steinlager 2 and Emotional Rescue. The trimaran Romanza, competing in its own division, crossed just behind Wired and ahead of Steinlager 2.
As the yachts returned to their marina berths and tidied up, the RNZYS prepared to welcome the crews back into the Dinghy Locker Bar for the customary after-match thirst-quenching, which somehow went down better than ever. Photos by Billy Woodworth
