Good news is Australia is the winner on line but the Kiwis have us on handicap, this was due to us taking a rating hit and carrying the code zero (which we never used).
The racing was fantastic and I cannot wait till we get to do it again. We had a small hipcup on the second last day with a reef and our centreboard while tring to miss two whales and 3 yachts in a small channel that made us DNF in the second last race and miss the last one which was a shame.
But we live to fight another day.
Both skippers are now keen to get out and practice some match racing skills for those pre starts.
A lot of lessons were learnt while racing and what changes could be made to make the boat even faster again, so now we just need a nice big sponsor to come along and put there name on the fastest sailing billboard in Australia.
Must say a big Thank you to Sean for the ride and a thank you to Simon and Team Vodafone boys for coming over and racing with us.
