NZ 470 Class Association

🇳🇿 A challenging start for the Kiwis at the 470 World Championships in Enoshima.

Wakatere Boating Club duo Tessa Clinton and Will Mason sit 41st in the 74-boat fleet after the opening day of racing.

The Kiwi pair recorded a best result of 11th in their third and final qualifying race of the day, with three races completed in tricky 8-12 knot conditions, cloud and occasional rain.

There’s plenty of racing still to come as Tessa and Will look to climb the leaderboard in Japan. 🇳🇿⛵
