She\u2019s got it; <\/em>Sassafras takes the win!<\/em>

At the morning\u2019s briefing, principal race officer Harold Bennett told owners, captains and crew he was sending them on two of the Cup\u2019s longest courses. \u2028<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith 15 to 18 knots of wind forecast, our race committee is sending you out into the Hauraki Gulf. The Multihull Division is bound for Gannet Rock and a drag race, while our NZ Millennium Cup division is taking on the longest course they\u2019ll tackle over the regatta.\u201d\u2028\u2028<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And tackle it they did, with the superyachts out on 33.2nm course four, and multihulls taking on course five\u2019s 41.6nm.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The NZ Millennium Cup division was a tight pack throughout, with Sassafras<\/em> leading as they approached the Motutapu finish area. Though she wasn\u2019t alone. With mere boat lengths to go, Perseus^3<\/em> passed, firing her ship\u2019s cannon at her rival as she went. She couldn\u2019t strip Sassafras<\/em> of her glory however, with the 34 metre Royal Huisman holding on to her win on corrected time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
