Leander 1999 Day 4 - 28 Feb 1999

This saw an end to the Leander Trophy for 1999, only five races into the series. Winners were declared, a prize giving held and people started to drift away. The Boys decided that Laser Strike was the call for the day, so a skippers vs crew competition was held, with the crew kicking ass (what would you expect??)

All in all, a great time was had by all, and the event was declared a great success. Thanks to the Royal Port Nicolson Yacht Club, the Wellington R-Class Squadron and all the sponsors. Thanks too to the competitors for the great racing. See you all in 2000 for the 50th in Lyttleton!!
