Club Racing
Sail at Wakatere
Narrow Neck is one of the best locations for sailing in New Zealand - with a clubhouse on the waterfront, direct access to a wide sandy beach, and facing the picturesque Rangitoto Channel, join us at Wakatere Boating Club.
Wakatere club racing is held on most Sunday afternoons during the season from September to May. With a family focus, you will often find different generations of the same family across the fleets. Our club racing is built around our members who keep the fleet lively and the competition fun.
Classes sailed: Optimist, P Class, Starling, RS Feva, 29er, 420, iQFoil, Wingfoil, ILCA, RS Aero, OK Dinghy, Sunburst, Farr 3.7, Zephyr, A Class Cat
When you hear the bell at 12:30, head to the clubrooms for briefing - we’d love to have you join us.
