  1. Remember those days when the clubhouse board was filled with little notes everywhere so you could let others know what was going on. It was a nightmare organising everything.
    I think Viki has done an amazing job on the website and no no one has any excuse to bring a few beers down for the party after the next event.

  3. We are planning a sailing trip South & would hope to be in Lyttelton by mid November. We may have a delay from COVID so here’s hoping. Our ship is a Kauri cutter 47 feet long that has sailed most of the world. I look forward to meeting you all.

  4. Hi! I have just heard about your club and just wish I lived in the area and could be involved. Unfortunately, I live in Wellington now but, in the past have sailed, fished, and dived your waters many times, and have a few stories to tell.
