The Barfoot & Thompson NZ Laser Nationals concluded today with all divisions completing the scheduled two races meaning that all races for the series were completed on schedule for the first time at a Laser Nationals in several years. Todays races were held in light and very shifty SW winds with a strong tide but pretty flat water, which provided a change from the sea breeze conditions over the preceding three days. So overall Takapuna provided beautiful sailing conditions and with exceptional organisation on and off the water from Takapuna Boating Club this ensured an exceptionally successful contest.
