There were three races sailed on Sunday 29th January, in the 2012 Sunburst Nationals, being sailed at Wakatere Boating Club on Auckland's North Shore. The two morning races were sailed in nice steady conditions, with James Corbett and son Harrison having two race wins. Brett Linton and daughter Alice have held on with two second places.
The afternoon race was sailed in blustery winds, gusting up to 25 knots at times. This has lead to a number of capsizes, lots of exciting rides and a few withdrawals with broken gear. One noticeable thing was how well the 7 Sea Scout and Young Mariner crews were handling the conditions in the afternoon race. Their boat handling skills have improved markedly over the course of the regatta.
Brett and Alice Linton won the afternoon race with James and Harrison Corbett second, Andy Walker and Elizabeth Pitko were third.
