The fleet will be in Auckland over the new year holiday period with the demanding third leg across the Southern Ocean set to start from the City of Sails on January 7, 2024. https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/other-sports/130090566/auckland-confirmed-to-host-vintage-round-the-world-yacht-race 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
