As one of a few new additions to the PIC Coastal Classic yacht race this year, organisers are pleased to announce the event’s inaugural cocktail gala event: Starry Night.
Sailors, supporters and friends of the PIC Coastal Classic are invited to Eden Park on Friday, July 30 to celebrate in style and support the Starship Foundation with a sailing-themed silent auction.

Anybody who has done the race will agree that there’s nothing quite like sailing into the darkness of Russell at the end of the race, finishing under the stars and celebrating well into the next night after prize giving. To bring a piece of this atmosphere down to Auckland, PIC Insurance Brokers have hired one of the most popular bands from a recent afterparty.
The PIC Coastal Classic has transformed into more than a yacht race both metaphorically and literally. For many New Zealanders, the event is a yachting rite of passage and Labour Weekend tradition for nearly 40 years.
The popularity of the non-competitive 36° Cruising Rally division added three years ago has shown that participants want more than a yacht race, and the event will soon reveal the next expansion into the boating community.
