Get your local guide to cruising New Zealand
New publication for visiting yachts in the lead-up to the America's Cup.
The New Zealand marine industry has produced a handy guide for yachts heading that way in the lead-up to the 36th America's Cup in 2021. Compiled by the NZ Marine Boatbuilders & Refit Group and the NZ Marine Export Group, the guide includes never-before-released information around the 2020-2021 grand regattas.
The 2020 edition of Destination & Cruising New Zealand contains information on places to visit, marinas and regulations about biosecurity, immigration, tax for foreign-flagged yachts visiting New Zealand. It also includes details about New Zealand’s refit and supply industry, and a directory of local marine services and suppliers.
Major events leading up to the America's Cup include the September 2020 Auckland On Water Boat Show, the Christmas Race for the America’s Cup Defender and all challengers from 10-20 December, 2020, followed by a New Year’s Day 2021 Regatta and party hosted by the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron to celebrate its 150th anniversary.
This will be followed by the New Zealand Millennium Cup superyacht regatta in the Bay of Islands from 2-5 February, 2021, then the Prada Cup and the J Class Yacht Regatta, both held in February in Auckland’s Hauraki Gulf, before the America’s Cup match racing kicks off in March.
Published as a printed book and in an interactive electronic format, the guide can be picked up at the Monaco Yacht Show, METSTRADE in Amsterdam and other international events, and is available for download now here or from NZ Marine by contacting Peter Busfield.
