Manukau Yacht & Motor Boat Club is a sailing club at 85 Kiwi Esplanade in Māngere Bridge, on the Manukau Harbour. The club sails Hartley 16 and Noelex 22 trailer sailers for seniors, and Optimist dinghies for juniors, almost every second weekend when the tide is right. It welcomes new members and offers junior and intermediate Optimist lessons. Trailer sailers, dinghies and multihulls are all welcome, and the club sails socially and competes through the year, with more than 30 race days planned, seniors and juniors together, and only a short break between seasons.
The club has two main ramps for trailers and a third for smaller dinghies, and the website says there is ample parking for cars and trailers. The waterfront is also open to non-sailors, with room for a picnic, sport or a walk in Ambury Farm Park, where visitors can feed the animals. The site notes that the Hartley 16 national championships, the 58th, were held in 2026 and that a boat called Bazzare won them. The club's commodore, vice commodore and sailing master are listed on the site as the contacts for membership and training.
