Alfa Romeo NZL-80 on Auckland Anniversary Day & more of "Le Grand Blue"

Thanks to Zelda for sending a cool photo of the super-maxi Alfa Romeo NZL-80 sailing in the Auckland Anniversary Day Regatta (30 January, 2006).

She also sent a great shot of the of the mega-yacht Le Grand Bleu which I only managed to photograph from the wharf. After seeing my other shots I went back to take this photo but Le Grand Blue had sailed!  You can just see the 20m/67ft power-boat on the deck which sits beside the 21m/70ft sailboat seen in my photos! The vessel alongside Le Grand Blue is the bunkering tanker Tolema 1.
