Results of the 2016 Mahurangi Regatta, to hand:

 

Thelma, A-class keel yacht

Forming a Pattern: As with 2015, when the wind was almost as light as it was on Saturday, the graceful Thelma, pictured, and Archanar trailed the A-class field, Archanar in fact failing to finish, this year. It was a very different story in 2014 when, enjoying the stiff breeze that day, the Thelma was sailed into second place, on handicap. photographer Lyn Bergquist

Orion II

Handheld Whisker Pole Says it All: Despite sailing a shortened course—only once around Saddle Island—a number of boats failed to finish as the afternoon breeze failed to fill in. Not so with the mullet boats, such as Martin Robertson’s Orion II pictured here, with their massive mainsails. photographer Lyn Bergquist

Sullivans, southward, by Lyn Bergquist

St Ayles Skiffs and Te Haupa Hopefuls: Four of the fleet of five St Ayles skiffs that saddled themselves with a row around Te Haupa, in addition to their 200 kilometre ‘raid’ starting at Sandspit and ending 15 days later on the Waitematā Harbour. At least rowing around Saddle Island proved to be more reliable than sailing, with the Bessie Houdini, with the furled tan gaff mainsail, and another four under-20-footers failing to finish. photographer Lyn Bergquist
