Breeze - Tall Ships and Classic Invitational Race, BOI Steve Western www.kingfishercharters.co.nz

Stephen Western of Kingfisher Yacht Charters provides some images of the Tall Ships and Invitation Classic Yacht contenders sailing in the Bay of Islands.

The handicap winner of the invitational group was Tempo.

There was a good breeze through out the event and a two metre swell as they sailed the the top mark at the Nine Pin.

A hangi was enjoyed by all at the finish ending another great day in the Bay of Islands.
