Viaduct Basin Auckland NZ.
Until the late 1990s, this part of the Auckland waterfront was very run down. It consisted mainly of old sheds and a few fishing boats. Everything changed when New Zealand won the America's Cup yachting contest in 1995. A huge redevelopment took place in readiness for the 2000 defense of the Cup, where this part of the harbor became home for the various competing international yachting syndicates.
