After the postponement of the Helly Hansen Women's Challenge at Manly Yacht Club earlier in March due to inclement weather, Sydney Harbour was bathed in sunlight as the fleet competed in a solid 16-18 knot gusty sou' westerly breeze. Twenty three boats out of the original 36 entered, battled it out for some fabulous Helly Hansen prizes.
