Hansen & Drummond take Sail Auckland
Christine Hansen writes: “Great to see twenty 420's racing in this year's Sail Auckland off Kohimarama Beach. Typically, the conditions were shifty, pretty fresh and featured lots of extra traffic - ferries, keelers, motor boats, even a 100 ft plus super yacht, going around and through the course.... not to mention the class photographer dropping the old boat's sails a bit close to the finish (sorry James and George, you really didn't need that). Newcomers to the class, Marcus Hansen and Finn Drummond have been rewarded for their consistently good results including four 1st placings over four days of racing coming first overall (28pts), followed by Napier pair Wade Tresadern and Ben Goodwin (27pts) who had a great last day with two bullets, with heavy weather experts Emma and Sarah Berry one point behind in third (38pts) and first girl crew”.
