What do you do when you win the America’s Cup? Throw a party of course! Hundreds of RNZYS members as well as America’s Cup course marshal volunteers and members of Emirates Team New Zealand enjoyed a superb night at the RNZYS on Saturday 27th March to celebrate the successful defence of the 36th America’s Cup. The ‘Auld Mug’ herself was there to enjoy the festivities out of the confines of her high security case, with people lining up to get a special picture with the oldest sporting trophy in the world. The champagne and beer were flowing all evening as guests celebrated and danced to brilliant live music in the ballroom. One of the highlights was when ETNZ’s own Tony Rae and Ray Davies joined the band to belt out a few classics, including a brilliant rendition of the Beatles hit Come Together.
