Aaron races with us when he's in town. Brett the only other really active T in Auckland sails out of Takapuna (where the 2008 worlds will be held). Its really unfortunate that the NZ T fleet is really aging and as far as I'm aware only 2 crews have upgraded to the carbon masts. I suspect that a lot of the "sparten" look comes from the fact that their tramp is 2 foot wider and 1 foot longer, so there is a lot more room for the same amount of gear.
