Boarding the Steam Tug at its base in Devonport, a loud blast on the whistle will mark our sailing as the smoke billows from the funnel and we steam down the Waitemata Harbour. At North Head, it will be full steam ahead as the engines are opened up for the “romp” up the Hauraki Gulf to Mansion House Bay in Kawau Island. The Tug William C Daldy rarely ventures out of Auckland Harbour these days. So book early.

Once again we proved wisdom over youth and successfully won the 173rd Auckland Anniversary Day Tug Race!

With poor coal and blustery conditions we still managed sail to victory. A BIG thank you to our stokers and our supporters for making this day a HUGE success! Winning the best presented surveyed vessel is a testament to all the hard work our volunteers and supporters have put in over the last 32 years!

• The Thompson Towboat Trophy for the first on handicap
• The Parry Trophy for the best presented surveyed vessel
