Sail on an America’s Cup Grand Prix Racer
See more Visitor Attractions. See best of Auckland in New Zealand.
‘Sail New Zealand’Sail New Zealand, located in Auckland the 'City of Sails', allows travelling sailing enthusiasts the chance to explore the area on some the highest performance vessels this great sailing nation has to offer. Taking an America's Cup grand Prix racer around the bay for a couple of hours or an afternoon's match, you can view the famous Auckland harbour on one of its best yachts, the NZL40 or the NZL 41. As well as cruising around, participants can also take the helm and become one of the crew in a match race as both boats are pitted against one another. They also offer sailing courses and classes as well as tours to see the local flora and fauna, including swimming with dolphin. Perhaps the most impressive experience they offer is a 2 night expedition to the Bay of Islands on the late Sir Peter Blake's 1985 Whitbread Round the World challenger, 'Lion New Zealand'. Sail New Zealand is an award-wining organisation offering some of the best sailing experiences in the country; all trips are fully skippered so sailors of any level of competence can come aboard.
