                <description><![CDATA[For NZ$130ish you can help sail one of two former America's Cup yachts around Auckland Harbour for a couple of hours with SailNZ.  <br><br>It is well worth the money, particularly if there is a decent breeze which will show you the kind of speeds the boats are capable of and give you a taste of the thrill of America's Cup racing.  You can help work the grinders and even take the helm.  <br><br>It's also a good way of seeing the harbour and getting a water-side view of the city.  More than anything, I found this a rare highlight in an otherwise dull and disappointing city.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Don't just admire the stunning Rangitoto in the middle of the harbour - paddle there! A guided round trip takes 6 hours including a climb to the summit for great views of the city and harbour. For extra credibility try the evening option. It was amazing paddling back across the harbour in the dark, just a row of little lights bobbing across the silent water with the city around us. Fantastic.]]></description>
