Six teams competed, 2 teams from Kerikeri High School, 2 teams from Mahurangi College and the Whangarei Boys High and Whangarei Girls High teams. Wednesday and Thursday were ideal conditions with 6 to 12 knot breezes. Friday brought 15 to 25 knots which was more challenging. All the teams gained a lot in experience in handling those conditions. Even though this is a training regatta, there is a
