New Plymouth Yacht Club

Kellan Casey had a great time at AIMS games this week. He enjoyed three days of racing and lots of sunshine. Day one had 10-15 knots, day two presented itself with strong winds, before dropping to 10 knots as racing started. Day three started very calm, but luckily racing got underway after a 2 hour delay. Kellan sailed in the Silver Fleet placing 28th overall, with an excellent 10th place finish in one race. Keep up the good work Kellan!

Busy day at the yacht club today! Russell and Wayne getting their boats ready, the Spotswood Sailing Team mowing the lawn, Ryan and Amélie sailing, James showing off his new Farr 3.7 and Stephen, Kieran and Ida being awesome parents 🥳

Are you ready for the season?

Ryan O'Neill had a great time at the Yachting New Zealand National Clinic at Murrays Bay Sailing Club this weekend. He enjoyed sunny skies, 10-15knots of wind and learnt a lot.

We are proud to have one of our juniors be part of the National Youth Programme.

Ryan learnt to sail with us as a 9 year old in our plastic optis, enjoying the Rainbow Fleet, before moving into a fibreglass opti, then a starling and now sails an ILCA. He also sails a Farr 3.7, 420 and Elliotts.

💪👏Thank you to our AWESOME VOLUNTEERS for getting our safety boats ready for the season. We appreciate each and everyone of you! 🚜

See you on OPEN DAY 26th September ⛵️

🏆 New format for Secondary Schools Teams Sailing in 2027⛵

New Zealand’s premier secondary schools team sailing event is expanding in 2027, with separate National Championship and National Development Cup regattas.

The new format will:
🔹 Keep a high-performance pathway for the country’s best school teams
🔹 Give developing teams more opportunities to compete at national level
🔹 Allow composite teams to compete in the Development Cup
🔹 Give schools with enough depth the chance to enter a second, development team
🔹 Recognise both Open and All-Female teams at both levels

The 2027 nationals will be hosted by Naval Point Club Lyttelton during the April school holidays.
