Just had a most awesome day aboard Lion New Zealand.
A group of around 25 of us went out to watch the first day of the Americas Cup - World Series race. The race highlight being the final race between American Magic and Team NZ. A very large TV was placed on the foredeck so we could watch the TV footage as well.
However the real highlight was just being aboard this historical race boat - closely followed by an amazing Donut Dip which we had for afternoon tea.
They are taking taking bookings for charters at the start of 2021 for groups to watch the Prada Cup, so worthwhile experience if you want to get close to the action on the water.
Thanks Captain Charles, Evelien, Paul and all the crew for an excellent day out on the water!

Hard to single out a favourite part of our experience because the whole time on board was fantastic. But some highlights were the professionalism of the mainly volunteer crew, sailing under the harbour bridge & looking up at how close the main mast was to the underside of the bridge deck, the huge bow wave when Steinlager 2 was powered up, finishing a fairly close 2nd in the race to a much more modern design of yacht & mainly just being on such an iconic yacht.
