The weekend weather wasn't to everyone's liking but those who enjoy a bit of wind, rough and tumble, had a great time. Among them were some of the Bay's keen yachties, who braved a biting South Easterly to race in the Tauranga Yacht and Power Boat Club's winter series on Sunday.
These photos were taken from the Waterline Magazine photo boat by Hannah Tatton and Brian Rogers. Video clips to be posted later this week.
