Delayne Brink and At Last finished the race this morning, at 12:00:53.  He came across the line in fine style, carrying main and jib...and just the tack panel of one of his asymmetrical kites fluttering from the boswprit.

Then Greg Morris and Color Blind came across the line into Hanalei Bay at 16:27:39 PDT this afternoon, under a neon green and lavendar spinnaker, which matched the hull colors all too well.  Fortunately, there was enough cloud cover to make the sight bearable to the naked eye...
 
We haven't been able to get hold of evening reports from the remaining three boats (Harrier, Bravo, and Compass Rose) but based on earlier reports we expect Harrier to finish early tomorrow morning, and the others on Monday.
 
Later: Position reports from 2100 for the remaining three boats (relayed by Giggles - thank you Dale):

Compass Rose:  23-41 155-18 239M 6-7 kts 247mtg
Harrier: 22-50 158-43 210M 7kts 56mtg
Bravo 24-18 155-40 228M 6kts 245mtg
