EXCLUSIVE Breakfast with Sir Ben Ainslie- SOLD OUT

Date: 10 March 2021
Time: 09:00 - 10:30
Hosted by The Grange, Smales Farm

Join us for a 'one-off' exclusive morning with the world-renowned competitive sailor, Sir Ben Ainslie

We are so honoured that Sir Ben Ainslie has managed to put aside some time in his incredibly busy schedule for the North Harbour Club. Due to the nature of this event, scheduling and current alert levels we will only have spaces for 30 guests to attend. Please BOOK ONLINE or by getting in touch with Kirsty asap to secure your space.


Coming off the back of the 36th America’s Cup campaign we all would love to hear from a true gentleman of the sport.

Ben has won five Olympic medals across five consecutive Olympic Games, he is one of only three athletes to win medals in five different Olympic Games. Adding to his Olympic achievements, Ben has an extensive list of Wold Championship titles spanning 1993 to 2012.

In 2005 Sir Ben started his career in America’s Cup racing, having tactician roles with both Team New Zealand and Oracle Team USA over the years. In 2012 he announced the formation of the America’s Cup team ‘Ben Ainslie Racing (BAR)’, his team competed in the 2011-13 America’s Cup World Series, 2014 Extreme Sailing Series and set a multihull record for the ‘Round the Island Race’, they also won the 2015-16 America’s Cup World Series.  In 2018 the team was renamed to INEOS Team UK and joined us here in New Zealand for the 36th America’s Cup.

We have all watched Sir Ben Ainslie and his team aboard ‘Britannia’ over the past few months. We have felt the highs and lows, we have watched the struggles and cheered along with them for their successes. Now is the time to hear from the man himself.

Guest arrival from 8:30am at The Grange, Smales Farm
Your ticket includes a two-course breakfast, coffee, mimosas and an hour long Q&A session with Sir Ben Ainslie
