The tenth edition of the world's most southerly superyacht regatta will begin tomorrow, with a fleet of adventurous superyachts gathered in New Zealand's Bay of Islands to race in this fiercely competitive event.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/23369/image/large-0d82d05e0e4171430dd310032c110239.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/23369">Silvertip B&nbsp;rounds the Nine Pin during last year's regatta (photo by Jeff Brown) Between 23-26 of January, six superyachts will battle it out in the Bay of Islands through a series of courses which weave through uninhabited islets and emerald waters during this fiercely competitive event.&nbsp;Following the country’s many recent successes at the America’s Cup, the event's organisers are expecting a surge in entries over the next four years, as New Zealand prepares to host the 36th America’s Cup in 2020 - with an influx of superyachts already booking berths for the event. This year's regatta is expected to retain the fiercely competitive mood of previous years, with entries often finishing seconds apart. The International Superyacht Rule (ISYR) creator Jim Teeters will be handicapping the race on site from New Zealand while former America’s Cup principle race officer, Harold Bennett will act as officer during the day. The tenth NZ Millennium Cup will see new entries compete against seasoned sailors for the top title, with internationally renowned sailors jumping on board to help. Tom Schnackenberg, Matt Belcher, Will Ryan, Tom Dodson, Tony Rae, and Richard Meacham will all be lending their skills to competitors in the regatta.This year's six-yacht fleet includes the winner of last year's regatta, the 28.1-metre&nbsp;Tawera,&nbsp;who will return to defend her titles.&nbsp;

Designed in collaboration with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1197" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Team for Design - Enrico Gobbi (Company)">Team for Design - Enrico Gobbi</a>, she features a sporty styling and sinuous lines. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271715/image/large-eb55fe176714a018f24469d637b7ea87.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271715">The 70-metre superyacht features a steel grey hull with charcoal details, with minimal windows that create a sleek aesthetic and accentuate the length of the hull. The charcoal-colour skylounge, where the wheelhouse is placed, seems set back so as not to interfere with the slender line and let the characteristic <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/201" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ISA Yachts (Company)">ISA</a> arch connecting all the decks take centre stage.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271698/image/large-6a8f3017de4905994271594775464319.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271698">Externally, the yacht features a spacious foredeck which is privately accessed by the owner's stateroom on the main deck. This area includes an infinity pool connected to the owner cabin through a lit up path for a great scenic effect. A touch and go platform can also be provided. The owner stateroom is a formed as a glasshouse, where the very slim frames of the large opening floor-to-ceiling windows are virtually invisible, amplifying the feeling of continuity between inside and outside.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271714/image/large-b3fa4a734696608e11d19aea965a0fc1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271714"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271713/image/large-7e17fedccf6448abaccdb42fc73e85ea.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271713">At the stern end of the upper deck, such sense of continuity between the round dining room with opening windows at 180 degrees and the external cockpit is achieved through the use of the same type of wood. The outdoor furnishings are organic and characterised by very modern round and curved shapes combined with warm colour wood for a glamorous high-quality elegance.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271704/image/large-fe2a34f41482170a507e8670337635d2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271704"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271703/image/large-b0b55e3e67f3f11edf78b9c327ed3ca0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271703">The yacht's interior is finished in teak and wenge wood on both the flooring and ceiling cladding. Dove grey and taupe are the main colours with contemporary blue lifting the warm pallet. Marble and satin brass are used to add an elegant touch to the yacht. The owner stateroom strays from the path using a combination of sandblasted teak-colour walnut wood and very light-colour leather to produce a truly unique effect.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271705/image/large-edd18d0a59a14f3d3cbcd47061c707d9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271705"> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271707/image/large-e767f1c2ef32429b8034d4a89f4d119c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271707"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271706/image/large-33e8a9fa91b88b9de7cdb53a01529ff7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271706">The yacht can accommodate as many as 1 guests between five double staterooms on the main deck, including a VIP with a private lounge. The owner's stateroom features a bath and shower, with his-and-hers bathrooms.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271711/image/large-ed63acc65c909329dff7e2582e1a3b02.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271711"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271712/image/large-e94d87f0638c313f32cb663d9ad4cdec.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271712"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271708/image/large-44f2a76c117db8a2aece0e1c9de0b323.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271708">The spacious spa area on the lower deck is connected on the sides and aft by large opening platforms. The use of very thin-cut and treated stone conveys this environment an incredibly relaxing Zen touch.
