2012 NZ MILLENNIUM CUP - SOUVENIR MAGAZINE
A Message from Stuart Robinson Chairman - NZ Millennium Cup
Sailed in the sparkling waters of New Zealands ‘City of Sails’ the 2012 New Zealand Millennium Cup once again provided some great racing and enjoyable social events for all those who attended. The 2012 regatta marks the beginning of New Zealand Marine Export Group hosting the regatta on an annual basis and we are looking forward doing it all again on 14 – 17th February 2013.

Auckland – City of Sails Auckland is New Zealand’s largest city, an urban oasis where big city sophistication goes hand-in-hand with a stunning natural playground. Set on three beautiful harbours dotted with more than 50 emerald isles, it’s no wonder Auckland is known as the City of Sails. It has a proud maritime history having played host to numerous prestigious world events including the America’s Cup, the Louis Vuitton Pacific Series, the Auckland Festival of Sailing, the Volvo Ocean Race Stopover and NZ Millennium Cup. Auckland comes alive for such events, the vibrant waterfront buzzing with visitors and residents soaking up the atmosphere. Auckland’s Viaduct Harbor is full of fine dining restaurants and cafés and is a major hub for Auckland nightlife. It is a wonderful spot to enjoy world-class cuisine or simply relax with a local boutique beer or sip on a glass of superb New Zealand or international wine. Auckland is the hub of New Zealand’s marine industry and a centre of extraordinary innovation. The region has a thriving marine industry built on talent, exceptional skills and a world-renowned reputation for craftsmanship and quality. The Auckland region offers diverse activities and attractions for visitors to enjoy. A stunning natural landscape, beautiful beaches, outstanding food and wine, a rich culture, great shopping and plenty of adventure – Auckland has it all. Visitors can take part in adventure activities like mountain biking, canyoning, skydiving, hiking, snorkelling, fishing, kayaking, quad biking, golf and much more, all within close proximity to the city centre.
