Stewart Thomas on his way to winning the Paper Tiger Masters division at the NZMG sailing last Sunday.
It took a while for Neptune's breath to return to steady, but the NZMG sailing on the Whanganui River eventually got underway in front of the sailing clubrooms last weekend.
Spokeswoman Sarah Lourie said a total of nineteen boats entered in a variety of classes.
Sailing was abandoned on the
Friday and Saturday due to strong gusty conditions, however Sunday proved "a perfect day for testing the skills of the sailors".
"Local yachtsmen won all but one of the events, even though there were entries from Auckland to Christchurch and New Plymouth to Napier," said Lourie.
"The wait for the right conditions was worthwhile to get good results."
