A Transformed Trophy for Silver Edition of the Superyacht Cup

Pendennis has long been a supporter and sponsor of The Superyacht Cup and this year the team was honored to be approached by the organizers to assist with improving the winners' perpetual trophy. After discussion with the SYC team, a new base was designed and the trophy was brought back to Pendennis' facility in Falmouth. There, the new base was hand crafted and lacquered by a highly skilled team of joinery and finishing apprentices and wood machinists. The new base design has transformed and modernised the trophy, featuring an inset teak deck for the cleat to sit on and will no doubt complement the victor's trophy cabinet this year.

For the second time, 100% Pure New Zealand is the Superyacht Cup's 'Destination Partner'. With the regatta's reputation for attracting superyachts with a keen competitive edge and desire to push boundaries, it is the perfect match for New Zealand: an adventure playground for yachts wishing to explore further and expand their horizons beyond the traditional Mediterranean and Caribbean cruising grounds. The 100% New Zealand team will be present during the event to showcase stunning New Zealand as a world class cruising and charter destination. Why not see the team on site and find out about the country's 14,000km of pristine coastline, set against a breathtakingly beautiful backdrop of diverse landscapes?

A record 57 superyachts came to New Zealand during the 2014/15 season. The 2015/16 season has seen the same level of over 50 visiting yachts, but noticeably many yachts are larger than those that came previously. Additionally, with the new 24th month visiting permit in action and possibility for foreign flagged superyachts to charter in New Zealand, many yachts are staying longer.
