Kiwi Spirit II arrives in 5th Place out of 31 boats. Clearly we trailed in light airs from the outset and had hoped to do better when moderate winds arrived. However we broke away when the winds went off our quarter and were quite impressive. It was too late to make a difference. Will be interesting to check race tracker. Overall remain pleased with the boat. It Is easy to handle and gives a comfortable ride but not as fast as the bigger predecessor Kiwi Spirit.
