The Auckland to Denarau Ocean Race 2010 got away in the most fabulous weather conditions. The crews of all the participating boats had smiles all over.

Thirteen year old Edwin understood conditions were to worsen and having to prepare for the big expected low of 981 near North Cape with swells of 8 meter or more. Starlight Express, a Davidson 55 and no stranger to off shore events, most notably winning IRC and division A in the 2002 Sydney to Hobart. Edwin Delaat is surrounded by highly competent fellow crew and feels quite safe.
