The America's Cup experience has just got a whole lot better! NZL 40 now has a racing partner NZL 41.
There are two sailing options available - choose to join a two hour sailing experience or a three hour match race (begins October 2006).
- Individual 2 hour Sailing Experience:
Your two hour sailing experience starts in the Viaduct Harbor where you meet the professional crew and are taken through a short safety briefing. The yacht then heads out of the America's Cup Village past the syndicates and Super yachts. The sails are hoisted and passengers become the crew, encouraged to take the helm, exert energy on the grinders or simply sit back and enjoy the action as we sail down the beautiful Auckland Harbor.
- Individual 3 hour Match Racing:
The America's Cup experience has just got a whole lot better! NZL 40 now has a racing partner NZL 41. Now not only can you experience the thrill of sailing an America's Cup Yacht, you can participate in racing on one. An activity which in the past has been reserved for only the most elite professional yacht racers is now available to everyone keen to take up the challenge.
Your three hour experience begins in the Viaduct Harbor where you will meet the professional crew who will take you through the safety and race briefing. The yachts will then depart through the America's Cup Village and head out past the Syndicate bases and Super yachts where passengers will take their positions for a brief period of practice. Then the experience really begins as the two yachts line up under international match racing pre-start conditions, just like in the America's Cup and compete head to head. You will be involved in the racing, calling tactics, grinding, and even protesting the offending yacht! |
