  • Beau Geste clinches regatta title after a superb final days yachting at the Jack Tar Auckland Regatta 2016

    Beau Geste have claimed another regatta title in style after a top class final day for Division A in Auckland. Helmed by Karl Kwok, Beau Geste won 3 out of the 4 races sailed today in what were fantastic conditions for yachting off the Eastern Beaches.  Beau Geste were sitting in second place behind Viento 2 after day one, but their 3 solid wins and a 3rd in the final race surged them to the top of the standings, and with 7 out of 8 line wins across the regatta – I don’t think anyone can argue their victory isn’t deserved.
