Ken Eccles and the team at Motueka Yacht and Cruising Club in Motueka, New Zealand, keep the spirit of yachting alive for both seasoned sailors and newcomers. With the goal of promoting yacht racing and cruising in Tasman Bay, the club is buzzing with a variety of events open to keelers, trailer yachts, and dinghies.
Before each event, there's a mandatory skipper or crew briefing to ensure safety and fair play. Starting communications are handled on VHF Channel 77, keeping everyone in the loop. The sailing programme for the 2021-2022 season is detailed on their website.
For those without boats, the club offers rentals, making it easy for anyone to join the fun. Situated at 2 Ward Street, Port Motueka, it's easily accessible. You can contact them at secretary.motuekaycc@gmail.com for more details.
