Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club

Thank you to for their generous support in funding the replacement of our Te Ruru trailer. This funding helps us support sailors on the water! The trailer is an essential piece of equipment for bringing the boat in and out of the water. Te Ruru is used as a support boat during our races and keeps a watchful eye on all sailors.

Te Ruru also supports Explore Your Coast volunteers to document marine life in Wellington Harbour, collecting data to better understand and reverse the decline of local kelp forests. With the help of Te Ruru and club skippers, divers have undertaken video surveys around Matiu/Somes Island and along the SH2 coastline. This work enables the club to directly support the conservation and environmental health of the harbour that lies at the heart of our sport. The observations will raise awareness and understanding of Wellington's coastal ecosystems and connect more Wellingtonians with their local marine environment.

With the help of Pub Charity, we have secured the ability to continue to protect and support our local marine community and environment.
