To commemorate Auckland Anniversary Day, Dame Cindy and Dr Davies joined members of the Royal New Zealand Navy and the Auckland Anniversary Regatta for a luncheon at the Torpedo Bay Navy Museum, in honour of the iconic Auckland event. The Auckland Anniversary Regatta is New Zealand’s longest continually running sporting event, and is also one of the largest single-day regattas in the world. Auckland’s first regatta was an impromptu race held on 18 September 1840, moving to Auckland Anniversary Day in 1842.
