23 Oct - Luke Wigglesworth completed the Auckland to Russell race as an unofficial entrant in the HSBC Coastal Classic. Why unofficial? He wasn't able to meet Cat 3 safety requirements... on a windsurf board. Chris Torckler says that Luke completed the 119nm race in 9 hours and 59 minutes - the second monohull across the line behind Konica Minolta (although of course you won't find that on the official race website!) He has sailed the race three times before, but this is his best effort yet and has been verified on the GPS-Speedsurfing website.
