We had two reasonable days. However, as the North Island suffered in many areas with adverse weather, HB delivered cool conditions. But winds were light, water was flat and the showers were minimal.

Final Points adding the two weekends together:

• Hawkes Bay: 72
• Rotorua: 49
• Taraunga: 36
• Bay Coast: 15
• Whakatane: 9
• Taupo: 3

Again Waitemata RC came to the competition to complete their own race meet against Hawkes Bay Crews and in key events were successful two to one to take home the Collaboration Cup won by Hawkes Bay at the first leg two months ago in Auckland.
