The Canterbury Yacht & Motor Boat Club, which is now part of Naval Point Club Lyttelton, are seeking information from past and present members as they gear up for next year's centenary.

Peter Burling and Blair Tuke are as motivated as ever to win another gold medal at next year's Tokyo Olympics and will put together a plan that gives them the best chance to achieve that.

Organisers of the PIC Coastal Classic yacht race are continuing to hold their course in planning this years’ race, despite the uncertainty presented by the global pandemic.  

Any yacht and boating clubs operating under alert level 2 or 3 are reminded they need to have a copy of the QR code for the facility displayed in a prominent position by 11.59pm tomorrow (August 19).

Auckland remains in alert level 3 after the Prime Minister's announcement tonight which means yachting and boating clubs in the region need to stay closed and all activities suspended in line with government guidelines.

Yachting New Zealand held a have-a-go day at Lake Pupuke on Sunday for female Starling sailors to try out the Laser Radial to help the young sailors look at their next pathway.

They are the unsung heroes of our sport, so it's only appropriate we recognise and acknowledge the people who allow racing to take place.

Potential competitors are encouraged to enter next month's Starling national championships at the Nelson Yacht Club to allow organisers to plan ahead.

This is a message I had hoped I wouldn’t have to write as Auckland moves into alert level 3 with the rest of the country at level 2 but we need to remember we did exceptionally well as a nation last time and can do it again.
