Queenstown

Sailing

Sail Queenstown. Lake Wakatipu gets extremely windy, and sailing is a popular pastime. Sail Queenstown runs a two-hour lake cruise on NZL 14, an America's Cup-class boat that was built for the 1992 challenge in San Diego and sailed by Russell Coutts. The boat is fitted with full safety gear and gives a really comfortable ride on these almost-waveless waters. Trips leave from the Convelle Wharf in central Queenstown every day at 2—more often in summer, if necessary. 03/442-7517. www.sailqueenstown.co.nz.
