Weather events threaten Christchurch clubs

Issue date

Yacht clubs are often in prime positions on the sea front but it also means they are vulnerable when it comes to global warming, sea level rise or a weather event combined with a low pressure and a king tide.

As these pictures show, taken of Christchurch clubs during recent weather events, it would not take much more for it to become a significant problem.

Perhaps a review of your facilities, club plans and security would be a smart thing to do if your club is in a “idyllic location”, especially as it is winter we are not at our club as often and these sort of events can creep up on us.
