Place	Entrant	Margin behind winner
1	D. Gray	Winner
2	Masefield	1½ lengths
3	Farquhar	2 lengths · finish tie-break

All four boats complete the 40-turn replay. Final margins follow the adopted game’s finishing convention; relative spaces are not measured metres or elapsed times.

The historical event

The New Zealand Herald’s January 2 report names D. Gray, B. Day, Masefield and Farquhar in that historical order. A protest against the historical winner was not sustained. These source results are separate from ASN’s replay finish above.

Reconstruction notes

The men’s heading refers to the Māori dinghy race for its course: from the southern flagboat, around and inside two northern buoys, then back inside the starting flagboat. Exact geometry and measured distance are unverified. The course reference does not establish a boat-length limit for the men’s event.

The replay represents four named placed entrants; the report does not explicitly state the total number of starters. Masefield and Farquhar have no reported initials. Names remain event-scoped, without inferred career linkage.

All entrants retain the equal estimated C-20-D ratings reviewed in the TEST pilot. The owner-reviewed 40-turn adaptation shows percentage progress, ignores empty D6 stations without reroll, moves duplicate selections once and adds no invented turning or steering penalty. No elapsed time is generated. The historical protest does not impose a replay disqualification.

Four selected Waiheke rowing races are now complete. The wider rowing and dinghy programme remains open. TEST rehearsals are excluded from official totals.
