In contrast, Neville Crichton in Team Shockwave climbed back through the fleet to be sixth at the first windward mark and second in the race to all-the-way winner Southern Star, skippered by former Farr 40 World Champion John Calvert-Jones with Alinghi America’s Cup sailing head, Grant Simmer, as his tactician.
