Assignment The Dream Machines
Reporter: Rob Harley Producer: Brett Cammell There's a booming super yacht building business in New Zealand. But, as Assignment reveals, it's not all plain sailing. Rob Harley reports on the economic boom of the building of super yachts - which is fast becoming the largest manufacturing industry in New Zealand. This is having an enormous impact on boat yards in Auckland and further North, as hundreds more jobs are created and millions of dollars in revenue is generated. However, this direct spin off from New Zealand's America's Cup success is not without its problems. Harley talks with boat builders, as well as Team New Zealand skipper, Dean Barker, about what pressures the commercial spin offs have on him as a professional sailor. [21/06/01]
New Zealand's flagship, in-depth current affairs programme covering a host of local stories. Presented by Richard Long, with reporters Kerryanne Evans, Rob Harley, Jackie Maher and Rod Vaughan.
