Team New Zealand have made a quiet return to the Extreme Sailing Series, producing mixed results on the first day of the opening regatta in Singapore regatta to sit fourth overall.
With two wins in the eight races sailed, Dean Barker and his crew of Glenn Ashby, James Dagg, Jeremy
Lomas and Edwin Delaat are well placed in the 12-boat fleet.
Sitting on 46 points, they are only two shy of French team Groupama and former America's Cup rivals Alinghi, who are in a share of second. The other Swiss team in the fleet, Realstone, leads the regatta with 56 points.
Fortunes fluctuated for every team in the very shifty breeze that was a light four to 10 knots.
Having started and finished the day with a win, Emirates Team NZ skipper Dean Barker said he will be looking for more consistency from his crew over the coming days.
