Once again the Kerikeri Cruising club fleet approached the start of the Willis Sails Winter race with a forecast of 25 knots gusting 35 knots only to find that the wind barely rose to 15 knots from the SW.

They say that sailing in very light airs is character forming and Sundays Goodyear Auto and Appleton’s Rum race 7 was certainly that with 0 to 5 knots and forty degree wind shifts to contend with. At the start line outside the Kerikeri Cruising Club it proved difficult for some of the twenty boats to even cross the line. Large areas of no wind created a minefield for the yachts to negotiate and it was common for boats to go from the front of the fleet to the back in the space of 100 meters.
