The two New Zealand Sailing Trust yachts - Lion New Zealand and Steinlager 2 were on the Waitemata for the start of the PIC Coastal Classic.

Both round the world maxis are in superb condition, but still true to the original boats which Sir Peter Blake skippered in two Whitbread Round the World Races.

Lion New Zealand was racing with a college crew on board, Steinlager 2 had an adult crew.
