NZ MILLENNIUM CUP
2020 ENTRANTS
Silvertip
Two time winner of the NZ Millennium Cup, high
performance sloop 33.8m Silvertip is a 2001
composite construction by Yachting Developments,
built to a striking design by Ed Dubois, which delivers
performance, comfort and long distance cruising
ability. She won both the International Superyacht
Society “Best Sailing Yacht” and Showboats “Best
Sailing Yacht” awards in her class – the first yacht
ever to win both awards.
Sassafras
Graceful Sassafras cuts a beautiful figure across our
Bay of Islands backdrop. The Royal Huisman-built
yacht’s roomy interior, designed for cruising comfort,
doesn’t hinder her agility around a course. We’re
looking forward to seeing this 34.2m back on the
course in 2020 as she lines up against fellow former
entries, Silvertip and Janice of Wyoming.
Janice of Wyoming
Janice of Wyoming is a much-loved sight competing
in the Cup; she launched in 2005 and her distinctive
presence has been turning heads ever since. She was
the twelfth design from Dubois Naval Architects, built
by Alloy Yachts since 1991. A 39.6m (130ft) sloop,
Janice features a low profile hull that offers a sleek
shape and high performance.
NZ Millennium Cup 2020 | 5
Adele
Delivered by Vitters in 2005 to a design by Hoek
Design Naval Architects, Adele’s distinctive lines
will be a welcome addition to this year’s regatta.
Two masts allow for many sail combinations which
will stand her in good stead in the changeable
conditions of the Bay of Islands, when the 54.64m
joins the race for the first time.
Kawil
At 34.14m, Kawil comes to the regatta fresh from
a yard period at Orams Marine and will be ready
to put her former regatta experience to good use
on the start line. Built by Derecktor Shipyards to
a design by Sparkman & Stephens, she recently
raced in the Superyacht Challenge Antigua and
will bring a hefty dose of competitiveness when she
joins our fleet in 2020.

PLATINUM SPONSOR
Orams Marine is pleased to once again support the
NZ Millennium Cup as platinum sponsor. It’s great to

the Pacific and make their way to New Zealand and
we’re looking forward to introducing more of our
international colleagues, peers and friends to the
beautiful Bay of Islands when racing begins.

be than in the Bay of Islands

cruising and hospitality
with you.”

Every year the Smuggler team looks forward to the

NZ Millennium Cup 2020 | 13GOLD SPONSOR
We look forward to welcoming crew and owners to
the Bay of Islands again for the NZ Millennium Cup.
As recognition of the Bay’s unspoilt shorelines with
emerald waters and picture perfect conditions for
cruising grows, we’re thrilled to see visitor numbers
increase year on year. To accommodate the influx of
guests we’ve invested significantly in infrastructure
and the development of 150 new berths, from 12 to 40
metres, including 37 catamaran berths at the Bay of
Islands Marina. We’ve also just completed a build of a
new superyacht berthing facility alongside Opua Wharf
and can accommodate vessels up to 110 metres. We
invite guests to explore the refreshed Marina and are
proudly committed to maintaining the Bay of Islands’
reputation as New Zealand’s premier recreational
maritime environment. It is with great pleasure we
welcome the Millennium Cup back to the Bay.
“We invite guests
to explore the
refreshed marina”

NZ Millennium Cup 2020 | 16“We have raced the NZ Millennium Cup multiple times with
Silvertip since its first edition in 2000, and won it twice. It is
always a special event which deserves much more success.
Racing in the Bay of Islands surrounded by a dolphin pod
playing at the bow is always a treat, the organisation is
flawless, the scenery second to none and the racing quite
competitive. Any superyacht cruising in the Pacific should
make a point of doing the NZ Millennium Cup.”
