A fun regular yacht race
Join us on select Friday’s throughout the year as we enter our iconic yachts in the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron (RNZYS) evening race. An awesome experience aboard a true legend - Steinlager 2 or Lion New Zealand. You will meet the crew at 3pm for Friday's racing at the Explore Kiosk, 220 Quay Street, Auckland Viaduct. Please do not be late - the yacht will leave at 3.15pm with or without you.
You will be dropped back at the Viaduct at 6pm after racing (timing depends ultimately on the length of the race course and wind conditions). You are then most welcome to join in the prize giving party at the RNZYS and share stories with your team mates and other crews. Please make your own way to the Squadron.
“This was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure and was utterly amazing. I say this as an older woman with *no* sailing history and limited mobility. I felt entirely welcome and the entire thing was fantastic. Make yourself do it even if it’s lashing rain and high winds. The crew is brimming with expertise and you’ll be so glad you took the leap.”
