Skippers and crews - mark your calendars for the 186th Auckland Anniversary Day Regatta, on Monday 26 January 2026.

This iconic event has a race for every boatie: harbour course for keelboats, passage races, centreboard fleets, classics, foilers, even tugboats and launches. Youth participation is encouraged, with awesome prizes up for grabs for young sailors and crews, and an overall prize pool totalling over $10k.

The Notice of Race and entry details will be published soon. Whether you’re racing hard to get your name on the regatta’s historic trophy collection, or simply joining the spectacle, this is the one day every boat in Auckland should be sailing.

Keep an eye on regatta.org.nz for NOR and entries opening soon.
