About Wakatere Boating Club

Founded in 1926 on the sandy shores of Narrow Neck Beach, Wakatere has grown from a small group of DIY boatbuilders into a vibrant, multi‑class sailing community. Today our sailors range from national champions to first-timers, sailing everything from classic dinghies to modern foilers.

We welcome all ages and stages with accessible learn‑to‑sail pathways, and we support anyone wanting to build confidence, sharpen their skills, or simply enjoy time on the water. Whether you’re here to race hard or just catch the breeze, you’ll find your place at Wakatere.

JOIN THE CREW!

Friendship. Life Skills. Resilience.
Competition. Adventure.
