After four days of racing on the Hauraki Gulf, it’s the team on Mike Mahoney’s Tawera who have won the first superyacht regatta in the world for over a year.
“Unbelievable, given the climate we are operating under now, it shouldn’t have happened, but thanks to the Squadron, to get this regatta underway was just unbelievable. Everyone’s had a wonderful time, the races were fantastic, the courses were brilliant, and we are really happy to come out with a good result.” said Mahoney.
Despite the continued winning run of Silvertip to take the final race, for Taware finishing in second was enough to confirm their overall victory with 10 points.
