Treble Cone Interdom Sec School Teams Sailing




Racing began today for the top three Australian and NZ schools competing in the Treble Cone Interdominion Secondary School Teams Racing Champs at Algies Bay. Each school has 6 sailors in 3 420 yachts competing head-to-head with each other school in a number of short races.

The race committee did a superb job in completing 3 round robins – a total of 45 races - in constant rain. Conditions for the first 2 round robins were 6-8 knots with the last round robin in 8-14 knots.

Most races were close with all schools skilled in this type of racing but at the end of the day, the New Zealand schools were dominant holding the first 3 places overall.

Of the 15 races sailed by each school, Tauranga Boys College leads with 14 wins, Mahurangi and Macleans Colleges follow both with 9 wins, ahead of the top Australian school Brisbane Boys College with 6 wins, Hutchins School (Tasmania) 5 wins and St Virgils (also Tasmania) with 2 wins.

At stake are 2 trophies - top school and top country –at last year’s competition in Hobart, Tauranga Boys won the top school while top country was narrowly won by Australia.

Two more days of competition remain, but with strong winds forecast, the competitors were pleased with the 3 round-robins completed today.
