Stone Sailing Club

Stone Sailing Club is a friendly and vibrant sailing club located on the south shore of the Blackwater estuary in New Zealand. The club was founded in 1949 and has since become a popular destination for sailing enthusiasts of all ages and experience levels.

At Stone SC, a wide variety of boats are sailed and raced, including dinghies, cats, keelboats, cruisers, windsurfers, and cadet classes. Members can participate in regular racing events that take place from late March until mid-December. One of the key advantages of the club is its ability to launch boats from the beach at all states of the tide, providing convenient access to the water for all members.

In addition to sailing and racing, Stone Sailing Club offers various other activities and events to keep members engaged and entertained. The club hosts an annual Laying Up Supper, where members gather to celebrate the end of the sailing season and to honour outstanding achievements. There is also an Annual General Meeting where members can discuss club matters and provide input on future plans.

For those interested in participating in open events, enjoying a meal, or renting a club boat, Stone Sailing Club provides booking options through their website. Members can also take advantage of the Crew Finder feature, where they can connect with other sailors looking for crew members or boats in need of crew.

The club prides itself on creating a safe and inclusive environment for all members. They have implemented safety and policy regulations, including general rules, data protection policies, GDPR compliance, codes of practise, privacy policies, use of cookies, and safeguarding child protection policies. Stone Sailing Club is committed to ensuring the well-being and enjoyment of everyone involved, including youth members, and they maintain a youth code of conduct to foster a positive experience for young sailors.
