Luna Rossa ITA 74, at her first outing this morning after undergoing a week of modifications, sailed out into Waitemata Harbour to meet the Italian Ship before her entry into Auckland Harbour. The Amerigo Vespucci, with all her cadets aloft, was surrounded by a large welcome flotilla. The Ship berthed at Princes Wharf West to a special Mayoral welcome from Auckland City and many happy spectators.
