New Zealand Secondary Schools Teams Racing Nationals 27th April – 2nd May 2014

The School sailing team competed in the annual Teams Racing nationals held at Algies Bay over the second week of the School holidays. There were 32 Schools competing from around the country, the furthest being from Wanaka. The week started off with a bang, with lots of wind and great sailing by our team where we raced against some tough competition; by Wednesday we had made it into the gold (top) fleet, beating some old rivals. As the week went on the wind got lighter and some time was spent on the shore waiting for a suitable sailing wind. Overall we finished 9^th, a great result. Keri High School won the event, with MacLean’s College second and Auckland Grammar third.

A huge thank you goes out to all the parents and supporter s that gave up their time to help us on our national’s journey, including providing accommodation, food and support at the prize giving. The team was coached by ex-student Graeme Sutherland, who did a great job.

Also I would like to farewell Pia Schuster and Tristan Gill (both year 13) whose competed in their last Secondary School nationals, we wish you well for the rest of your sailing future.

The rest of the team members are – Brooke Adamson, Mathew Leydon, Heather Pearson, Jordan Stevenson, Heather Niccolls and Georgia Woodall.
