It’s been a long week, but the 2018 Auckland Noumea Yacht Race is now complete, with winners crowned, stories shared and memories made that will last a life time.
Our fleet experienced some of the toughest sailing conditions they have ever faced. All 10 boats who entered the Auckland Noumea Yacht Race made it to Noumea, a little battered and bruised, but they still made it.
Congratulations to everyone who took part and thank you to all those who followed the race closely.
