What a day at the Sandspit Centreboard Autumn Regatta

A fantastic regatta today with great racing across the fleet. The wind delivered exactly what we needed, creating some competitive and exciting sailing out on the water.

Congratulations to all of our prize winners – well deserved results after a strong day of racing.

It was also great to see sailors travelling in from across the region, adding to both the competition and the atmosphere.

A big thank you to all the club members and volunteers who helped run the event. From race management through to setup and support on the day, these events only happen because of the effort behind the scenes.

Appreciate everyone who came down and supported it.

A great day for the club.

Christmas Regatta Magic!

What an absolutely stunning day on Kawau Bay for the 2025 SYC Centerboard Division Christmas Regatta!

The sun was shining, the wind was steady, and the bay came alive with colourful sails and smiling faces.

From the fearless solo sailors in the Optis to the dynamic duos carving it up in the 420s - every moment captured the spirit of summer sailing at its best.

A massive thank you to all our sailors, supporters, volunteers, race committee, and families who helped make this day so special.

We’re especially grateful to our sponsors who continue to back community sailing and make events like this possible. Your support truly keeps the wind in our sails!

Check out some incredible photos from the day — we’ve never seen a more vibrant fleet out there!

This Regatta was a fantastic way to finish the year, and we’re more excited than ever to grow our community in 2025. Let’s keep the momentum going — bring on more sailing, more learning, and more fun on the water!
