Auckland’s Richmond Yacht Club invites adults wanting to get out on the water this summer and experience sailing to contact them.
Richmond Yacht Club run a series of eight races over the summer months for adults who would like to experience a taste of sailing, or who have experience and are looking to find a place as crew on a boat.
The RYC’s Victoria Friday Night Special allows newcomers to experience sailing (and its social side) in a friendly and relaxed environment.
This popular event is a series of fun sailing (non-Spinnaker) races around the harbour. Each race you will be allocated to a different boat which can range in size from a 26ft to 44ft yacht.
After each race, come back to the club rooms for a drink or meal and workshops introducing the basics of sailing. It is also great for networking - we encourage crew members to let skippers know that they are available to crew for any of their other racing throughout the year.
Total cost is $188.00 which includes Crew Membership, Race Entry Fee and Seminars. First race is Friday 26 October.
