About Kohimarama Yacht Club

Kohimarama Yacht Club is a junior and youth sailing club founded in 1940, with its clubhouse on the water at 80 Tamaki Drive, Mission Bay. It is run by volunteers, and its focus is on young sailors. We hear Term 4 Learn to Sail registration is open now. The Learn to Sail programme is for children aged 9 and up. Members sail everything from Optimists and P-Class boats to 29ers, 420s, WASZPs and wing foils. The club says about 100 member families and around 120 boats sail on a full club day, which is held on Sundays, with training in the morning and racing in the afternoon. Training also runs on Wednesdays and Saturdays for most fleets. The club hosts Junior Sail Auckland and the PredictWind Girls Champs, which it describes as the largest female-only junior and youth regatta in the Southern Hemisphere. Its boat shed is at Madills Farm, and the club is smoke-free and vape-free. Our pick for a youth sailing club on the Tamaki Drive waterfront.
