The quality of Yachting New Zealand's leadership has been recognised with the awarding of the Governance Mark by Sport New Zealand.
The Governance Mark was introduced in 2016 and was the only externally accredited governance development programme of its kind internationally, with a focus on play, active recreation and sport.
It was something Yachting New Zealand's board have been working on for some time and was achieved recently.
"It's great to be recognised by Sport New Zealand as an organisation that meets the highest possible mark in terms of governance of New Zealand sport," Yachting New Zealand chief executive David Abercrombie said.
"We are very well served by an extremely capable board and a number of them, both past and present, put in an enormous amount of work to make this happen."
Yachting New Zealand join the likes of Hockey New Zealand, New Zealand Football, New Zealand Rugby and Sport Wellington.
