Join us for a unique opportunity to hear from two of the world’s most-accomplished sailors.  Ken Read is in Auckland as a TV commentator for the America’s Cup World Series and Christmas Cup racing.  Ken will analyze the long-awaited America’s Cup racing as only a former America’s Cup skipper, Volvo Ocean Race helmsman and world-class sailor such as he can.

Rich Wilson is a veteran Vendée Globe skipper and will join us to give his perspective and first-hand experience on the wild, non-stop solo ocean race.  The sailors are currently barreling their way through the Indian Ocean eastward to the south Pacific Ocean.
