Calling all aspiring women sailors

Have you ever dreamed of sailing into the sunset and exploring the world by sea? Or perhaps you’ve simply wanted to experience the joy of sailing on our beautiful local waters?

Gulf Harbour Yacht Club is inviting women to take part in their Women on Water Weekend, happening March 7 to 9. This is the perfect opportunity for women who are new to sailing to get out on the water, connect with like-minded women, and most importantly, have fun.

No boat? No problem! Now in its third year, this exciting three-day event is all about encouraging women to take up keelboat sailing in a supportive and welcoming environment. Even if you don’t own a boat, you’ll be paired up with an experienced club sailor who will guide you through the ropes.

On Friday, you’ll meet your crew and get familiar with your boat. Then, over Saturday and Sunday, you’ll put your new skills into action as you sail different courses – three incredible days on the water for just $95 per person.

Want to upskill your sailing experience?

If you have some sailing experience, why not join one of the racing divisions? Feel the thrill of competition as you race alongside fellow sailors. And if you own a boat but need crew, simply register, and Gulf Harbour Yacht Club will match you with enthusiastic sailors ready to join your team.

Find the full programme and entry details at ghyc.co.nz/woww Closing date for entries is February 24.

Join us for an unforgettable weekend on the water – we can’t wait to sail with you.
