In the first half of 2026, Wakatere hit some huge milestones. First, we celebrated 100 years of sailing at the club - a remarkable achievement by any measure. Then we backed it up on the water, hosting two major regattas that followed the Sailors for the Sea best‑practice guidelines and earning a top-level Platinum Clean Regatta status for both.
2026 RS Feva National Championship — Platinum Level Clean Regatta Certification
2026 Sunburst National Championship — Platinum Level Clean Regatta Certification
Sailors for the Sea is the world’s leading sustainability certification for water-based events.
A massive thank you to our sailors, volunteers, sponsors, and green team for their continued commitment. And a very special acknowledgement to club member Delayne Salthouse, who has kept sustainability on the committee agenda at every monthly meeting since 2018.
This is what long‑term, whole‑club effort looks like - a team effort, a club effort, a regatta-by-regatta effort and a testament to the priority Wakatere members place on making a positive impact on our environment. Here’s to keeping this spirit alive for the next century.
