Final Day - Mark Foy Regatta 2012 - 52nd Interdominions

The final race started in a light to moderate S/E breeze with a forecast to increase significantly. The breeze did not rise as expected leaving the conditions for a low end 2 rig day. C-Tech held a 1 point lead overall over DeLongi Rabbitohs with a further 3 points back to CST.

C-Tech lead out from the start followed by CST with a tight group of DeLongi Rabbitohs,Yamaha, The Kitchen Maker close behind. Maersk Line was recalled at the start and trailed the front group at the first mark.

C-Tech and CST battled for the lead and the Maersk Line caught the second group to join a very close race for third place.

On the last upwind CST tacked inside C-Tech and with a slight left hand shift lifted over C-Tech to round the final upwind mark slightly ahead and held on to finish 1st. Maersk Line got through Yamaha and DeLongi Rabbitohs to take 3rd place.

2nd place for C-Tech was good enough to win the overall championship and CST's win in the heat with DeLongi Rabbitohs in 4th place in the heat moved CST to 2nd place overall.

C-Tech's overall win in the regatta is a great outcome for the NZ fleet and augurs well for NZ's participation in the JJ Giltinan championship in Sydney next month.
