Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron

Il Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron è uno dei più prestigiosi yacht club della Nuova Zelanda. Il club fu fondato nel 1859 come "Auckland Yacht Club".

America's Cup Il Club partecipa alla America's Cup dal 1988 con il Team New Zealand. Si fece già notare nel 1992 quando perse di misura la finale della Louis Vuitton Cup contro Il Moro di Venezia, ma il Team New Zealand riuscì a coronare il proprio sogno conquistando la Coppa America nel 1995, e riuscì a difenderla anche nel 2000 nelle acque casalinghe contro il team Luna Rossa. Nell'edizione del 2003 la perse dopo la sconfitta in finale da parte di Alinghi. Nell'edizione 2007, ha vinto la Louis Vuitton Cup battendo in finale Luna Rossa, perdendo poi la finale di Coppa America contro gli svizzeri di Alinghi con il punteggio di 2-5, mostrando comunque il buon valore dell'equipaggio che ha reso i match races della coppa tra i più combattuti delle ultime edizioni.

Seagrove Aerodrome

Seagrove was an airport located by Clarks Beach on the south shoreline of Manukau Harbour, New Zealand, near the small town of Waiuku. World War Two Seagrove aerodrome was built, after Japan's entry into World War II (with the sudden threat of invasion), in secret on commandeered private dairy farming land during World War II (1942) for the use of RNZAF and United States Marine Corps aircraft from Marine Aircraft Group 14. It was used initially for the air defence of Auckland. Originally it was to be named RNZAF Base Karaka, but as a good will gesture to the Clark family that gave up their farmland, retained the Homestead's name "Seagrove". Very few people knew of the base or its existence during the war, so well-guarded that airmen based at the nearby RNZAF Ardmore aerodrome would wonder why fighter aircraft would suddenly appear out of nowhere and disappear from view. By 1943, the air force base was used as an auxiliary to the much larger bases at Mangere aerodrome (now Auckland International Airport) and Ardmore aerodrome. Curtiss P-40 Kittyhawk point defence fighters and Douglas SBD-3 (and SBD-4) dive bombers were both assembled and based there. Two paved cinder top runways, each approximately 5000 ft long and 150 ft wide, were built in a 'Boomerang' layout, one running west to east the other running nor'northeast to sou'southwest, central thresholds meeting at the apex of the Seagrove promontory at the mouth of the Waiau Pa inlet. Temporary barracks, dug in revetments and maintenance facilities were built. At the end of the conflict in 1945 the base was 'revealed' and closed but used for a short time as a surplus aircraft dump. Post-war The base was returned to local (Clark family) land owners in the 1950s after being ruled out as a future site of a new Auckland international airport. Speedway enthusiasts used the runways for drag racing and speed time checks until the runway surfaces begin to deteriorate over time. There were plans to make the east–west runway into a certified drag racing strip but costs and the (then) isolated area saw enthusiasts move elsewhere. Today the site is marked by a small plaque dedicated to those who served there and the runway layout is still discernible to aircraft approaching Auckland International Airport as well as on Google Earth. Access is limited as the site is now productive farmland and private property. Such was the secrecy of this base, to this day most people in the area know very little of its existence.

Sealy Tarns

Sealy Tarns is a small flat area with two small tarns halfway up the northern slopes of the Sealy Range, New Zealand. It is accessible from the Hooker Valley and Mount Cook Village via a tramping track maintained by the Department of Conservation (DOC). The track climbs steeply from about 850 m (2,789 ft) to 1,300 m (4,265 ft) via many switchbacks and over 2,200 steps built of large timber anchored into the ground. The track was established during the 1980s, and upgraded in 2012. The distance for a return trek from Hooker Valley Road to Sealy Tarns is 5.8 km (3.6 miles). The Sealy Tarns area marks the end of the well-maintained track, with a popular tramping route that continues to climb to Mueller Hut. The area features two small tarns (hence its name), an area suitable for tobogganing on the side of the ridge, and an excellent view of The Footstool, Aoraki / Mount Cook, both Hooker and Mueller Glaciers and their respective proglacial lakes, and Mount Cook Village. Panoramic overview This stitched panorama was taken in the Winter of 2007 in the afternoon.

Seddon Park

Seddon Park is a cricket ground in Hamilton, New Zealand. It is the fourth-largest cricket ground in the country, and is renowned for its "village green" setting, affording a picnic atmosphere for spectators. History Seddon Park was named after Richard Seddon the longest-serving prime minister of New Zealand. The Hamilton Borough Council named it in July 1906 before it was developed. It was first used for a major cricket match in February 1914, when the touring Australians played a South Auckland XVIII in a two-day match. It has been in constant use since. Due to sponsorship from Trust Bank and subsequently Westpac, the ground was known as Trust Bank Park from 1990 to 1997, as WestpacTrust Park from 1997 to 2003, and as Westpac Park from 2003 to 2006. It reverted to its original name in 2006, when Westpac decided to end its sponsorship of a number of sporting events and grounds in New Zealand. Seddon Park staged one of the matches in the 1992 Cricket World Cup and three matches in the 2015 Cricket World Cup. Australia played a test match in March 2024 to mark the return to test cricket in Hamilton for the first time since 2020/21. Ground Seddon Park is a round, well-grassed ground with a centre block of nine pitches, running approximately north to south. These pitches are usually very good for batting. There is an embankment going around three-quarters of the perimeter, with a tall hedgerow outside this embankment. In addition to cricket, Seddon Park has been used for rugby union, rugby league and hockey matches. It therefore has a flexible stadium environment that can be modified according to sports events. Usage and statistics Seddon Park has been used for first-class cricket since the 1956–57 season, coinciding with the formation of the Northern Districts Cricket Association and the inclusion of the Northern Districts cricket team in the Plunket Shield competition. The ground is used for hosting Twenty20 International matches, One Day International matches as well as Test matches. It has hosted a total of 9 T20Is, 34 ODIs and 25 Test matches. The first ODI played here was between New Zealand and India on 15 February 1981, which New Zealand won by 57 runs. The first Test match was played on 22–26 February 1991, between New Zealand and Sri Lanka, which was a draw. Kane Williamson has the highest Test score on the ground, 251 versus West Indies in 2020. The ground was also used for one season in 2001 for the majority of Waikato and Chiefs rugby home games. Temporary stands were raised for the games. Rugby returned to the newly built Waikato Stadium for the following year. Cricket World Cups This stadium has hosted One Day International (ODI) matches for all editions of the World cups, when New Zealand was a co-host.

Sentinel (building)

The Sentinel (sometimes The Sentinel or Sentinel Tower) is a luxury residential skyscraper in Takapuna, the central business area of the North Shore region of Auckland City, New Zealand. The tower has 30 storeys and is 150m tall (120m top floor height). The Sentinel was opened to residents in February 2008. The building contains 117 apartments. The building contains a number of motifs, from the square (used extensively in the glass facade proportions and in smaller details), to a woven flax basket (hinted at in the latticework of the facade). The Sentinel was built by Multiplex Constructions for NZ$60 million and was given a non-notified consent by North Shore City Council because the idea of having a landmark building in Takapuna was considered favourably when the developer Cornerstone Group first proposed it in 2003. The developer has also stated that the consenting regulations have since become onerous to a degree that he would not build such a building under current rules.

Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, Auckland

The Swaminarayan Mandir in Auckland (Devnagari: श्री स्वमिनरयन मन्दिर, औक्क्लन्द) is the second Mandir (Temple) of the Swaminarayan Sampraday in New Zealand. The Mandir comes under the ISSO of the NarNarayan Dev Gadi. History Auckland has the highest population density of people of Chinese and Indian cultures and a number of new Hindu temples were opened in recent years. An Asia New Zealand Foundation report, "Diverse Auckland: The Face of New Zealand in the 21st Century", written by University of Auckland's Dr Wardlow Friesen, says the city will continue to absorb more migrants than the rest of the country. In his report Dr. Friesen confirms: "On a physical level, the evidence of the emergence of diverse religious practices of the Asian population of Auckland is dramatic." Recently completed Shri Swaminarayan Temple in Auckland, New Zealand has become a beacon within all Sanatan Dharmic temples purely because of the amount of faith that has been put in God before and during the project. Thousands of hours of service have gone into individually hand carving the walls and ceiling of this temple. Over 5 years, careful planning and implementing took place by the local community of Papatoetoe, Auckland to ensure a new home is made for Swaminarayan. Designing, engineering and construction had gone beyond New Zealand to Hong Kong, India and Europe to ensure results. Intricate wood carvings as per traditional Indian architecture, to grand purpose built moldings, pillars and Shikhars have all been carefully crafted by expert tradesmen from all over the world. Dr. Kantilal Patel and his wife, Mrs Ranjna Patel, two people who were involved in the building of this temple, have been awarded the Queen’s Service Medal (QSM) for their community service. Opening of the temple The Murti Pran Pratistha Mahotsav (Deity installation ceremony) was conducted by Acharya Shree Koshalendraprasadji Maharaj, on 24 March 2008. The central Murtis consecrated in the temple are Ghanshyam Maharaj, NarNarayan Dev, RadhaKrishna Dev and Ram Parivar as well as Kul Dev's of the local community.

Sign of the Takahe

The Sign of the Takahe is a neo-Gothic style historic building in Christchurch, New Zealand. It is currently leased from Christchurch City Council and run as a wedding and function venue. History Construction began on the building in 1918, spearheaded by Christchurch City councillor and New Zealand Member of Parliament, Henry George (Harry) Ell. Ell envisioned the building as the Gateway into the Port Hills and the Summit Road, one of four planned rest houses in the area for those walking the reserves of Port Hills that overlook Christchurch and Lyttelton harbour. The other rest houses are Sign of the Kiwi, Sign of the Bellbird, and Sign of the Packhorse. While part of the building opened to the public as the Tram Terminus Rest House in 1920, which featured a tram terminus and tearoom, it would take decades for construction of the Sign of the Takahe to be completed. Ell died suddenly in June 1934, having never seen the building fully completed. Construction of the building continued under the direction of architect J. G. Collins. The Christchurch City Council bought the building in 1942 and it was finally completed in 1948, opening to the public in 1949. Like many structures in the area, the building was damaged in the February 2011 Canterbury earthquake. A NZ$2.8 million council restoration was completed prior to the building's centennial in May 2017. It reopened in 2019. Notable features The building is named after the endemic New Zealand flightless bird, the Takahē. During the Great Depression, a great deal of improvisation was required to minimise cost. For example, the stone was quarried locally and hand chiseled into blocks using primitive tools, the heavy kauri beams in the entrance hall were salvaged from a former bridge over the Hurunui River. The ceilings in the inner-most dining room were painted on timber cut from packing cases. The building's dining room fireplace is an exact replica of the historic Haddon Hall in Derbyshire. The building has a Category I listing with Heritage New Zealand. It is located adjacent to Cracroft Reserve.

Astrolabe Reef

Das Astrolabe Reef liegt in der Bay of Plenty auf der Nordinsel Neuseelands, nahe Motiti Island. Das Riff, das bei Niedrigwasser zu sehen ist, ist ein bekanntes Tauchgebiet. Seinen Namen erhielt das Astrolabe-Riff von Jules Dumont d’Urville, der es am 16. Februar 1827 nach seinem Schiff, der Astrolabe, benannte. Am 5. Oktober 2011 lief das an die in Genf beheimatete Reederei Mediterranean Shipping Company vercharterte Containerschiff Rena auf das Riff auf und schlug leck. Die dadurch entstandene Ölkatastrophe vor Neuseeland verschmutzte die umliegenden Strände und führte zu einem Massensterben bei der hier heimischen Vogel- und Fischpopulation.
