Incredible that after years of putting their hands in the their pockets, looking the other way, pretending there was nothing they could do - resulting in giant divisions with 40 boats - someone on the new committee has shown some initiative, adjusted the cutoffs, and evened up the divisions. Well done SSANZ!!

Well done Carpe Diem on rescuing the flipped catamaran at Kawau!

You can watch it here: Seven Sharp: Shipwreck City. And find out what happened to the Southern Progress, the large fishing boat that was anchored in Islington Bay for a few years. It cost $166,000 to dispose of... https://www.tvnz.co.nz/shows/seven-sharp/clips/shipwreck-city

$2500. How do they collect if you don't go ashore?

How is it that these guys can just jump ship and take all the secrets with them? Where is the non-competition clause? All my job contracts prevent me from working with a competitor for several years...

When Cyclone Tam tore the roof off Taipa Sailing Club last month, the future of the small but spirited Northland club was in serious doubt. Instead, it might just be the event that saves it. The cyclone struck the picturesque club at Taipa Point in Doubtless Bay with full force, tearing half the roof from the 73-year-old building and dumping nearly 200mm of rain inside. Water soaked the floors, badly damaging the structure. More than 50 volunteers - exceeding the club’s active membership - turned up to help secure the site and begin the clean-up two days after the storm hit, wi

Yachting New Zealand is relocating its Auckland headquarters from Takapuna to Milford late next month, in a move aimed at improving the efficiency of its member services and strengthening connections between sailors across all levels of its performance programme. The organisation has been based at 4 Fred Thomas Drive, Takapuna, for the past seven years but will move to 11 Omana Road in Milford (pictured above) in late July. The new premises will be leased and provide 450 square metres of space across two storeys. Located near the heart of Milford, close to Milford Beach and the Milfo

Rule-breaking boaties are reportedly undermining a sanctuary’s efforts to protect dolphins in Northland’s gem for marine wildlife watching. The finding was part of a deep dive into the effectiveness of the Bay of Islands’ (Te Pēwhairangi) Marine Mammal Sanctuary. The findings, released by the Department of Conservation (DoC) earlier this year, showed the number of bottlenose dolphins in the area was continuing to decline. The report stated 40 bottlenose dolphins were estimated to be in the area last autumn. The figure was a stark drop from the 244 dolphins in 1997 but an im

"The details are yet to be finalised but it seems, from the outside, to be a kind of sailing body corporate. Called the America’s Cup Partnership or ACP, it shares responsibility for matters like the format of the 38th Cup “and future cycles”, its timing, commercial rights, media rights and fundraising to meet the costs of the event – and to attract new teams. It’s a huge step. It takes the Cup away from sole control by the defenders and places it in the hands of a, well, committee involving the defenders and challengers. It’s designed to help safeguard the future of the Cup within a
