Navy to protect fleet
PA Auckland Three Navy patrol vessels will protect the fleet when the Whitbread round-the-world yacht race leaves Auckland on Saturday. The Auckland Harbour Board enlisted the navy’s help after the confusion which reigned during last week’s Waitangi Day maxi-race on the Waife-
mata Harbour. During that race the New Zealand yacht NZI Enterprise collided with a trimaran, injuring one occupant and tearing a large hole in its own hull. But the Harbourmaster, Captain Ross Blair, told board members on Tuesday that such incidents were unlikely on Saturday.
