Almost finished

 

Peter Parkin (Bonapate) and Blizzard (John Miller) must be two very happy skippers. They and theur crew have finally finished!

 

The bar will be at their beckon all afternoon and into the evening.

 

Iolanthe II isn't far away which will signal the finish of the 2012 Evolution Sails Sail Noumea race.

a little late....BUT ITS ALL OVER FOR 2012

 

When Iolanthe II crossed the finish line, the sound signal they received also signalled the end of the 2012 Evolution Sails Sail Noumea.

 

It's been 8 days coming in what has been an extremely eventual race for the Auckland to Noumea leg.

 

Iolanthe II finished the race under stormsail after breaking the boom a few days ago. Needless to say, they are pretty stoked to be back on dry land.

Well the race is over and there are a few boats to deliver to different destinations in various states.

I would like to thank everyone who helped make the 2012 Evolution Sails Sail Noumea Race the Great Event it was.

 

A special thanks to Suellen Hurling, Mathew Woodley and Mike Wilson for their MASSIVE EFFORTS over the last 12 months taking a yacht race and turning it into a fantastic Event.

 

Clearly not everbody made it to Noumea this time and that is a shame but can be a reality of Ocean racing, but there is always next time.

 

Congradulations to Simon Hull and Team Vodafone for setting a Multihull new record, Gary Lewis and Akatea on IRC, And David Nathan and V-5 on Monohull Line and PHRF.
