The club is starting the 2026/27 season with a PATROL BOAT SAFETY COURSE.

While many of you know how to drive a patrol boat, this course is about rescuing and retrieving boats and sailors in the water and how to manage rigs & sails when towing. It's an essential course at our club under our H&S legal requirements.

• Patrol Boat Safety Course

• Run by Auckland Sailing School

• at Wakatere Boating Club 

• Sat 12th Sept 2026  8;30 - 3pm

• Target group: inexperienced  

• For members 15yrs+, parents of junior members

NOTE: As a club-sponsored course, there is an expectation that members who sign up put their hands up for Sunday duty rosters, regattas or support club coaching over this season and the next. The club is investing in developing its people, and we appreciate that support being paid forward.
