A who's who of NZ sailing

New Zealand’s biggest keel-boat regatta, Bay of Islands Sailing Week, wrapped up on Friday night after three days of racing by more than 90 boats ranging from tiny sports boats to monster superyachts and super-fast foiling catamarans. Almost as important as the action on the water is the chance to catch up with old sailing buddies at the post-race celebrations at event headquarters in Opua. Peter de Graaf checked out Thursday night’s knees-up, which drew a who’s who of New Zealand sailing.
