We're honouring 100 years of dinghy sailing at Wakatere this year, and as we move through the rest of 2026, we’re more energised than ever to welcome new sailors to a club built on friendship, life skills, resilience, competition, and adventure.

Every season, newcomers join our nationally and internationally recognised sailors, learning, improving, and sharing the same stretch of water. From traditional dinghy classes to the fast‑growing world of foiling, our sailors develop skills across a wide range of pathways.

With strong class leadership, club racing and regatta support, and Learn to Sail programmes for all ages, there’s never been a better time to get involved in a sport that brings people together from all walks of life.

Whether you’re a seasoned racer or just starting out, you’ll find your place.

Opening Day is Sunday 20 September - it’ll be here before you know it.

What we offer 

• Club Racing most Sundays (Sept–May)

• Regattas & special events all season

• Junior & youth coaching throughout the week

• Learn to Sail for juniors, youth & adults

• Casual Thursday sailing during daylight savings

• Friday Foiling – new for 2026/27

Volunteer & parent involvement is welcome - from race management to safety boats, from shore crew to event support - there are countless ways to get involved, connect, and make a difference.
