We have finished leg 1 from Auckland to Mangonui .at 10am, 5th on line/ All new systems worked well.
We had a kite then gennaker ride up the coast with final short beat to the finish.
Both of us are in good shape and a just tiding up the boat

Well done guys. That's a great result (as usual!).The leg looked a lot quicker than the RNI one! What kites are you carrying for the race? Is that a new fractional chute in the start pictures? I'l be watching you the whole way for the next leg. I know it will be extremely tough - but we all have huge confidence and respect for you guys.I reckon your shore crew will have a bit on doing the Goodbye Pork Pie route down the whole country too.
Hi guys! Great job on the 1st leg. !st crew to have a kite up after the start! Have some good pictures taken from North Head. Will be following you closely on the 'long leg'! Marie and Charles
