Sail-World's NZ Editor, Richard Gladwell was on the water at the Harken Auckland P Class championships.

The Harken Auckland Championships attracted a 35 boat fleet of P Class, sailing in an open fleet, over Saturday and Sunday and produced some very close racing.

It is great to see the P Class back and sailing in strong fleets.

The Tanner and Tauranga Cups are being staged at Plimmerton Boating Club, Wellington from January 3-8, 2023.

If you want a shot from this regatta, please drop us an email to with your boat number and name (a lot of our shots don't have the sail number). We were testing and shot several thousand frames. These shots are generally cropped out of larger shots - so you can sort out your own sizing, if that is an issue. The light wasn't particularly good at times, so image quality is mixed. There is no charge for images.
