There are criteria that must be met for a regatta to be approved as the class national championship and the winner to be recognised by Yachting New Zealand. This includes a minimum number of competitors. Gender winners are recognised if there are more than six boats of that gender within the regatta.
If you have any queries regarding this list, please contact Danika at Yachting New Zealand, danika@yachtingnz.org.nz or (09) 361 4028.
