About Tamaki Yacht Club

Tamaki Yacht Club is a dinghy racing club on Tamaki Drive in Orākei, with its racing on the saltwater of the Waitematā. It runs racing on Saturday afternoons throughout the year, and the club's strongest fleets are Lasers and Mistrals. The club also welcomes sailors in other classes, including Finns, OKs and Zephyrs. Lasers are available for hire, which makes the club an easy place to try the sport. New members are welcome, and so are visiting sailors from other clubs.

The club sits on Tamaki Drive, next to the Mission Bay beaches, so racing and the shoreline are close together. For a dinghy club, a steady Saturday programme through the year is what keeps sailors coming back, and this club runs one on the water it sails on.
