Massive credit as well goes t

Despite the winds best efforts and some lengthy delays in the mornings before racing, the race committee team managed to pump through 79 races across two days! Teams were initially split into two pools to complete a qualification stage, after which they would be drawn into a knockout final series. From pool A – Auckland Grammar, Takapuna Grammar,

The Rarotonga Team Sailing Week concluded on Wednesday with 20+ happy but tired sailors coming off the water after the last round of team racing. The three days of racing concluded with a mini round-robin series between the Cook Islands and two New Zealand combined teams.

Now that the days are getting much colder we can reflect on the 2020/2021 team racing season and what schools had a season they’ll always remember! First we had our national champions, retaining the title from 2019 – Rangitoto College. The team of Lucy Leith, Naiomi Ferrissey, Caleb Armit, Joe Leith, Seb Menzies, Alex Hebberd, Josh Ferrissey & Kayla Abbott displayed a dominant performance taking out 37 wins from 40 races, losing only to second placed Westlake Boys High.
