Through the year
Sailing
Sunday Sailing runs from October to April. We also run "have a go" days for local primary schools, youth foundation courses, and boating education courses for anyone wanting to build their skills.
Fishing competition
Our Waitangi Weekend Fishing Competition is the club's biggest fundraiser. Weigh in is at the club, with species categories including blue cod, gurnard, tarakihi, kahawai, kingfish and snapper. Entry was $20 for members and $30 for non-members, with lower rates for children 17 and under. [Committee to confirm: 2027 dates and entry fees]
