18092011(Auckland International boat show)

Yesterday, my wife and I went to the boat show. There were heaps of boats as usual in Auckland and were massive superyachts as well. This was a bit similar of ones held in Korea, but overall this one here is miles more huge(in terms of everything) than that of Korea. We paid $20 per each for a day pass. Prior to going there, we prepared our lunch naming Ghim-bob(sea weed roll). Yummy~This is it, see below.

Three big boats attracted spectator's attention at first near the entry. One of them is COMO made by Alloy yachts. Two other ones were Thalia, Drumbeg made by Vitters shipyards in Holland. These are them.




 I couldn't take the picture of their bow because they all looking towards the ocean. They looked nice though. Just before crossing the bascule bridge, we saw another one made by Alloy yachts, which name was Jenice of Wyoming.





I always feel good when seeing a mast up in the air. Finding two huge masts are standing far beyond the park near at the end of the harbour that I reckon, we walked to there through the bridge. We saw really big boats there. One was Elandess made by Heesen yachts in Holland and another one was Vertigo which is the last sail boat from Alloy yacht so far, but we didn't see the whole body of it because the other yacht was infront of it.

The last one was Athena that screened Vertigo, which is made by Royal Huisman in Holland. She has been undergoing a refit at Orams Marine Service so the three masts of her were taked off somewhere near there(I saw a picture on the website.). She was really gorgeous even she got rid of them. Believe or not, she will go to Antarctica for travelling and now is on a painting. I wish I could make the one like that before I die.

 figurehead
 no masts! she used to have three!
There was one more yacht(cruise?) on the other side of the quay. She was Kestrel which had sailed over 1 centry. She was built in 1905!


 Two booths were in the boat show, which have many small booths of ship equipment company, material company, small shipyards and so on.

CCTV?
