I'm also in Auckland.

We went down to the wharf to see it the day it was launched.

Staggering size...

It's a catamaran with a 13m (42.7 ft.) tall solid wing and is expected to be able to hit 50 knots (90+ km/h).

They have to anchor it to a tonne and a half of ballast just to keep it from taking off on it's own.
