This year’s Helly Hansen Women’s Challenge continued a five year long ‘tradition’ of being held in very mixed conditions with Sydney’s wet weather spell lingering, bringing bright sun and full gloom alternately to the fleet of 25 yachts on different parts of the course.

Little Nico was first over the line and won Division 1 on PHS, Division 2 being taken by Moonraker and Division 4 comprising the Yngling fleet was won by Miss Pibb in the Female Helm category.
