Emirates Team New Zealand member and former Shortland Street actor Chris Dykzeul (centre - played James Thornton from 1995 to 1999) takes one piece out of a 372 jigsaw to current Shortland Street actors Tim Foley (plays Mark Weston) and Amanda Billing (plays Sarah Potts) to sign. The pieces are being shipped to the team’s America’s Cup base in Valencia, Spain, to be assembled into a 114 square metre billboard and mounted on the side of the team’s campaign headquarters. Thousands of New Zealanders have already written their messages of support at PostShops around New Zealand.
