A general recall in the racing class saw Hannes Waimer’s, Jativa take first, with Neil Pryde’s Hi-Fidelity, (last year’s winner) coming a close second and Frank Pong’s 77ft Jelik third.

In Premier Cruising class series, David Bailey’s Hocux Pocux finished first and John Wardill’s Australian Maid second after both finished with equal points.

In the Multihull class Mark Pesott’s Summersalt was back on form as in previous years coming first with Tony Lough’s Securicor or Fine Pitch second and last year’s winners Cedar Swan third. z The Final Awards ceremony at the Kata Beach Resort closed what has been a successful but varied regatta for competitors..
