Boat. Putiki Express
Team. John Minnee, Andrew Schultz, Paul Sabiston
Profile. Although smaller than the rest, makes up for it in ruthless determination. Don't expect her to be fighting for line, she does most of her damage in the cut and thrust at the back portion of the fleet. |

 | Boat: Rental
Team: Josh Tucker and Ant Blyth
Profile: Modified GBE. After many years in the making (rebuilding, fixing, breaking, fixing again, destroying then rebuilding), The rental team still has a lot to prove (and improve..) but is slowly getting there. A great party platform and can often be seen (and heard) blasting around the harbour on a nice day making a nuisance of themselves

 | Boat: Voom
Team: Ken Ormandy, Robbie McMillan
Profile: One of the first modified GBEs. Excellent cruising set up but still manages to get around the course in reasonable time. One of the quicker GBE's, especially upwind in the light. |
