2012 Millennium Cup won by Silvertip

By Saffron - 20 February 2012

Reigning champion Silvertip won 2012 NZ Millennium Cup in Auckland on Saturday.

Silvertip is a high performance 33.8-metre sloop built by Yachting Developments in Auckland in 2001 and is also the first yacht to ever win both the International Superyacht Society's Best Sailing Yacht and Showboats' Best Sailing Yacht awards in her class.

The NZ Millennium Cup is now an annual event organised by NZ Marine Export Group, the industry association responsible for promoting the NZ Marine industry to the world.

The regatta is designed to showcase New Zealand's impressive superyacht build and refit industry and facilities. It includes a strong mix of sailing races and social events and is expected to quickly become the premier event for superyachts in the South Pacific.

Touch of Spice were delighted to be Gold Sponsors of this fabulous sailing event.
