In the hope race, the New Zealanders won ahead of the US boat and the boat from the Federal Republic of Germany. In the final, the same run-in as in the preliminaries resulted in the top places, the British won ahead of the team from the host country and the New Zealanders. In 1985, Hollister went again to the World Championships in Hazewinkel, where he finished fourth with the New Zealand eighth .
