Treble Cone Interdom Sec School Teams Sailing


Tuesday was the second day of competition for the top three Australian and NZ schools competing in the Treble Cone Interdominion Secondary School Teams Racing Champs at Algies Bay.

After 45 races on Monday, only 12 races were completed on Tuesday before the forecast strong winds kicked in – gusting over 25 knots. There were some crashes , many capsizes and a few boats needing repaired.

When racing was abandoned for the day at lunchtime, Tauranga Boys College hold their lead with 17 wins, ahead of Mahurangi College with 12 wins, Macleans College 11 , Brisbane College 9, Hutchins (Hobart) 5 and St Virgils (also Hobart) on 2 wins.

New Zealand leads Australia 30 to 5 (points given for each race where an Australian school meets an NZ school. )

With the forecast set to improve tomorrow, sailors are hoping that the remaining 33 races can be completed before prize giving tomorrow night.

At stake are the trophy for top school and top country.
