About the Crew
Our Coaches are Yachting New Zealand qualified and have been sailing for the last 10 years. Our mission is to create the next generation of sailors to lead us into the future of sailing!
It Starts Here
Tauranga Yacht & Power Boat Club (TYPBC), one of New Zealand’s top sailing clubs, has produced many New Zealand’s world, Olympic, and Americas Cup sailing champions, and many more who chose to pursue sailing as a life- long hobby.
Famous names such as Olympic and Americas Cup champion Peter Burling, 2021 World Laser champion Thomas Saunders, and Olympic bronze and silver medalists Sam and Molly Meech all spent their junior years growing up and sailing in Tauranga.
Adventure & Experience
The learning process involves a mix of both team and individual sailing in Optimist and RS Quest dinghies covering water safety, learning to sail individually and as part of a team, rope work, and boat preparation & maintenance.
Safety First
Our Coaches are Yachting New Zealand qualified, have completed a first aid course, and are trained in powerboat operation and safety. We run one coach to a maximum of six children ratio to ensure that all children are looked after in a supportive and stimulating environment.
