On Monday night, Auckland's 328-metre Sky Tower, designed to be seen from all parts of this sailing-mad harbour city, now the almost permanent home of the Auld Mug, was shimmering a slightly sickly green and gold. It was a tribute to the return of Australians to New Zealand - human cash-flow in a tourism dependent nation - after more than a year's absence. It was a characteristically kind Kiwi thought (though try reciprocating that with the New Zealand national colours on an Australian tower by night). See Also The Kiwis are a kind people, aside from the occasional trans-Tasman bilateral d...

The final race 10 ended up a victory lap for the hosts as they notched their fifth race win in succession, the peerless ‘Te Rehutai’ yacht roaring to a 46-second win to trigger partying on spectator yachts and among crowds on the foreshore.
