America's Cup graveyards: Unique New Zealand Challenge yacht up for grabs

Caroline Williams Reporter from Rodney Times

NZL 20, the yacht used by New Zealand Challenge in the 1992 America’s Cup in San Diego in the United States, has sat at the Gulf Harbour Marina for more than a decade.

It’s a humble resting place compared to the museum glory afforded to NZL 32, aka Black Magic, the winning yacht of 1995.

The marina itself owns the boat, after its previous owner went into rent arrears.

But now the marina is selling NZL 20 in hopes that someone can take it on as a project and get it back on the water.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
