…and the chance to go down in history

While winning cash and prizes is certainly a drawcard, perhaps what’s most special about winning a race at the Auckland Anniversary Day Regatta is that your name is engraved on one of the regatta’s historic trophy collection.

These trophies – of which there are over 60, and many of which are solid silver and date back to the 1800s – are on permanent display at the New Zealand Maritime Museum. So you can take the grandkids one day, and tell them all about how you came to have your name on one…
