We went sailing at Auckland harbour then went on to visit Maritime Museum. This was also a first for us. We joined the sail on a boat called Ted Ashby.
A little background of Ted Ashby:
Big Rig of the Gulf - has taken 10 years to complete. Ted Ashby was a new scow built for the New Zealand National Maritime Museum in Auckland. The New Zealand trading scow's history and Ted Ashby's story is told by the people involved - the designers, builders, sailmakers, historians and the people whose vision made the project possible. Ted Ashby was the first new scow to be built for many years and there is unlikely to be another with the same authenticity.
