<p style="text-align: left;"><br />The racing is over – it’s time for skippers and crew to reflect on the past four days, some to celebrate, some to commiserate, but always to appreciate yet another learning curve. And even more important – everyone had a good time.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Paddy Sims Race Officer from Taipa Sailing Club said “we’ve had good quality and competent racing this year, none of that ‘follow the leader stuff’ – and we’ll work on getting more Northland boats to join in next year”.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The New Zealand yachting fraternity needs these regattas to retain the high reputation we have in sailing communities worldwide.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Prize giving was a hoot – photos will be available to view in the <a href="gallery/main.php">gallery</a> later today.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Ice Breaker took home the cream-on-the-cake with First Prize in IRC Division. As you can see – a VERY happy crew.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Ray Haslar, chairman of Bay of Islands Sailing Week says “A big thank you to all the competitors – a big thank you to Sponsors and the many volunteers. It takes this team to make the Regatta a happening- thing. We hope to see you all again in 2013”</p>
