Tauranga Boys' College is the winner of the 2011 Steve's Marine Supplies Bay of Plenty Secondary Schools Teams Racing Championship.

The event was contested on Tuesday, with the event attracting secondary schools from as far afield as Taupo.

Conditions were calm on the water for the event in Tauranga harbour.

In second place was Otumoetai College, in third was Taupo and Bethlehem College finished in fourth.

The Bay of Plenty Sailing Academy Trust (BoPSAT) has plans in place to enable other secondary schools to participate in next year's regatta.

There is also expected to be training and a regatta for intermediate students on the same day as the secondary schools regatta in 2012.
