The Marsden Cove Route 66 is Richmond Yacht Club’s “short” coastal race – 66nm from Auckland to Marsden Cove, Whangarei. Organised in association with Onerahi YC, the race includes open keeler, multihull and singlehanded divisions. With a 9AM start you’ll finish Friday evening with time to join in the party at Marsden Cove Marina. It is a great introduction to coastal racing for new boats as the safety requirements are Cat 4+ and the fleet stays within the barrier islands. The singlehanded division of the Route 66 is the "Route 1" and is the longest singlehanded coastal race in NZ. We expe

Richmond Yacht Club Presents: Tiritiri Matangi as a Cruising Destination We’ve all done it...we sail through the Tiri Channel on the way to Kawau and wonder what is going on over there on the “Bird Island”. When was the last time you went ashore on Tiri? Have you ever been ashore on Tiri? You should, ‘cos it’s a great place to visit. It is a destination which is well worth adding to your itinerary for a stop. You could spend a couple of hours on the way to Kawau, or anchor over in a beautiful sheltered bay as part of a longer trip and enjoy a leisurely stroll amongst the birdlife. There is

Come celebrate the legendary Auckland yachtie Flap Martinengo in RYC’s “around Rangitoto” race, the Flap Martinengo Memorial Race. This is a Saturday day race and includes a circle of Motuihe island as well. This year we’re racing it in the winter, Saturday 13 June, just to add a bit of challenge! Legend has it that Flap raced Namu as such a bare boat that he had to carry a kettle around to beg tea from his competition once the anchor was down.
