Insights from FilePro who are entering the Derwent River:

Rounded Tasman island, champagne sailing !!! ETA to finish 7pm. Currently doing 7.5knots under kite and mainsail.

Previous to this they experienced some exciting moments:

Had an exciting time last night surfing in 25-30 knots of breeze. Hit a new speed record for the race at about 5am - 20.4 knots. We have struggled for breeze at some points, with many boats behind running down on us. Finally moving again with 14 knots of breeze from the northwest and running with a full mainsail and code zero.
