Cook's NZ Ocean Racing hits the water
The Kiwi VO65 is getting ready for a summer of sailing in New Zealand
Bianca Cook and Tony Rae's New Zealand Ocean Racing campaign has lifted its VO65 into the water, in anticipation of a season of sailing during the southern hemisphere summer.
The boat is now docked at Auckland's iconic Viaduct Basin, and the New Zealand Coastal Classic regatta is first up on the agenda.
Cook told TVNZ their intention is to sail the boat around the country this summer, engaging with Kiwi fans to increase interest and engagement with the team.
“The dream is to have that Kiwi team and that Kiwi flag on the back of the boat and really get the country to invest in the team and the race again,” Cook said.
