A local east Auckland company, Share Boating, held the first of its Open Days on Sunday December 20 partnered by the New Zealand Sailing Trust for the ethnic community.
Intended to promote sailing to local ethnic community and integrate them into one of New Zealand’s favourite leisure sports, the event was fully booked and was a great success.
Guests sailed on New Zealand’s world famous round the world yacht Steinlager 2 designed by Sir Peter Blake. Sunday’s open day was during the America’s Cup World Series Auckland Regatta on Auckland’s beautiful Waitemata harbour, a perfect fit with the legacy of Sir Peter Blake.
Share Boating has partnered with the New Zealand Sailing Trust to offer these special open days for the ethnic community. A unique selection of sailing packages and Prada Cup and America’s Cup viewing packages are available which offers the thrill of watching America’s Cup yacht racing from the water.
