Ex-America's Cup yacht abandoned in Queenstown must go

From Checkpoint, 5:54 pm on 15 March 2022

As is where is: one dilapidated former America's Cup yacht abandoned on Queenstown's Lake Wakatipu.

Queenstown Lakes District Council is looking for someone to get rid of 'NZL14', which was previously sailed by a New Zealand team, with Russell Coutts at the helm.

Bottom line - Anthony Hall from Queenstown Lakes District Council says the mooring fees have not been paid by the former owner and she has literally been adrift.
