Luna Rossa came out to play again. I was too late to see her powered up. She seems to have an exceptionally high faff-to-fun ratio. Not really surprising, given that they are learning to handle a million-dollar wing sail that can generate hundreds of kilowatts from a gentle breeze.
Next, a superyacht under construction.
Vodafone was blasting around the harbour. Here she is going upwind faster than the breeze, and again entering the inner harbour.
Auckland is a harbour with a city built around it. The culture, industry and economy are intertwined with the sea. If it had a reasonable climate, I could imagine living here. Regrettably, it’s colder than Sydney and suffers from earthquakes, blizzards, tornados and sheep. Pity, really.
