Auckland Anniversary Weekend Celebrations

In 2009 we delivered an exciting programme of events to celebrate Auckland Anniversary Weekend in partnership with Heart of the City.

It sees hundreds of craft from centreboards, tall ships, keelers, and sailing dinghies to a fleet of historic, restored classic vessels and the boisterous power of the roaring vintage tugboats, all competing in their different class for line honours in a full day of racing.
