Greenpeace New Zealand unveils a new boat named after one of New Zealand’s best known children’s authors, Margaret Mahy. The ceremony at Okahu Bay on Auckland's waterfront is held on the 29th anniversary of the Rainbow Warrior bombing in Auckland harbour. Margaret Mahy was a committed supporter for 25 years. As a writer she cast a spell with stories and poems, she weaved words into adventures. Greenpeace does it with boats. The 7.3 metre RIB cost around NZ$100,000 raised by an appeal to supporters and the sale of an older boat.
