Following the

postponement of the New Zealand Millennium Cup Superyacht Regatta
from 15-18 February to 28-31 March, amendments to the Notice of
Race allow new entries to join next month’s race.

At a meeting held post-cancellation, organisers,
captains and yacht owners discussed the new dates, with the
majority of competitors confirming their entries would stand.

“Obviously we’re all disappointed in having to
postpone the regatta, but we want to look forward to what we can
do for the event in March,” said Harold Bennett, principal race
officer. “An extension to entry time will be issued with the
Notice of Race, and we expect to end up with further entries due
to the new dates occurring post-America’s Cup racing.”

The event will begin on a Sunday, the week before
Easter and clear of America’s Cup dates. The entry form can be
found
here.

The regatta was first held alongside the 2000
America’s Cup. It’s the longest running superyacht regatta in the
South Pacific and has garnered a reputation for its camaraderie
and fierce competition.
