Bay of Islands photographer, Steve Western was on hand to catch the action during the Millennium Cup and the Bay of Islands Sailing Week which were contested from Wednesday to Friday of last week.

The three day regatta was blessed with beautiful weather which showed the racing and superyachts off at their very best - against the spectacular backdrop of the Bay of Islands. Racing consisted of windward leeward races, followed by a race around the myriad of islands for which the historic region is named.

If you are in the Bay of Islands, take a break at Stephen and Sue Western's bed and breakfast Villa Russell www.villarussell.co.nz or to book contact them at info@cillarussell.co.nz
