The New Zealand challenger for the America’s Cup, New Zealand, is lowered into the water at Princes Wharf in Auckland on Saturday. The 12m yacht was launched by the Prime Minister, Mr Lange, without its keel because a manufacturing hitch meant there was no time to lay another keel before the ceremony. New Zealand will shortly be joined in the water by its twin.
