Day 1 - Dock Party 07/02/2013 11:26
The day’s racing was capped by a relaxed dock party on the water alongside the yachts. Dock parties were the perfect way to wind down after a day’s racing and dissect all the action on the water. This kind of hosting is what Kiwi’s do best, and capatilised on the on their renowned hospitality and the setting of Auckland city.

Day Two and with just one race complete it was still everything to play for. The course was similar to Day One, taking a turn around the Haystack rock instead of Rakino. Sea Toy was first off the mark at 12:04pm, followed by Zefiro, then Janice of Wyoming, Silvertip and then Ohana. Having got underway, all five yachts unfurled their gennakers to move down and into Gulf Harbour, making for a striking sight on the water. As they approached the Gulf Harbour buoy Silvertip and Janice were making gains on Zefiro. By the Haystack the gap between the yachts had closed further and Silvertip, Sea Toy and Ohana all narrowly crossed paths on the tack in the final stretch past Rangitoto. Once again, though, it was Zefiro who crossed the line first, keeping her firmly at the top of the leaderboard. Following her, Silvertip and Ohana fought it outright out to the finish line. Silvertip was just leading until Ohana caught a puff of wind and moved ahead to take second place. Ohana’s crew whooped as they crossed the line and as Silvertip finished both crews applauded each other. Janice came home in fourth place 12 minutes later, followed by Sea Toy in fifth. Once again a dock party followed the day’s racing.

With results as they stood, the end of Day Two meant that short of a do not finish on Day Three, the regatta belonged to Zefiro. With first place a sure thing, the fight for the remaining podium positions continued with scoring close together and Ohana on five points, Silvertip six and Janice seven. Day Three saw a slightly shorter race course, sponsored by Yachting Developments, with yachts racing down to Whangaparoa and back. Although Janice lead until the far point, she was overtaken by Zefiro, Silvertip and then Ohana who raced together as a leaders pack to the finish. At the finish line Silvertip just caught Zefiro, in an even closer finish than the day before, beating her by 15 seconds. Ohana followed less than two minutes later. Janice claimed fourth place, followed by Sea Toy and with that the racing was over and the results in.
