SeapixOnline- Yachting and associated images - 1 of 1 AUCKLAND ANNIVERSARY DAY REGATTA- TUG SANDWICH (picture 1) - The Ports of Auckland tugs WAIPAPA (IMO 9212072) and WAKA KUME (IMO 9212084)head the tug race fleet soon after the start gun but need to take evasive action to avoid collision with a yachtsman who is obviously oblivious to the fact that there are two large tugs bearing down on him at around 16 knots.
Surely he must have seen the fleet of 26 modern and vintage tugboats mustering for the start when he sailed right throught he fleet off Aucklands' North Head. In the foreground are KAITOA (1966) at right and PHYLLIS (1913). Keywords: MARITIME IMAGES, Yachts, Tugs, |
