The second New Zealand Millenium Cup regatta's race from Auckland to Kawau Island got underway this morning with a fleet including 14 yachts of less than 100ft and an impressive 21 bigger than 100.

The boats will overnight in Kawau where there is a rather large celebration, before returning to Auckland tomorrow.
