Are you the owner of Nelson Yacht Club Inc?
Tim, the organiser at Nelson Yacht Club, has a message for all of the sports community.
Situated in Nelson, New Zealand, Nelson Yacht Club Inc. plays a vital role as a yacht club, sailing school, and even a wedding venue. Tim and the team are all about making sailing and water sports accessible to everyone in Nelson and Tasman districts. They focus on being family-friendly, and creating a warm, welcoming community for all.
They’ve got a great Learn to Sail programme for anyone 8 years and up. You can choose from after-school sessions, holiday programmes, weekend adult courses, or private tuition. Tim believes in helping participants discover a lifelong sport through sailing.
But it’s not all about sailing. Nelson Yacht Club also offers windsurfing and wingfoiling lessons. With expert instructors and quality gear, they make it easy for anyone to dive into these exciting sports. And if you’re into wingfoiling, they’ve got you covered with lessons, gear sales, and advice.
Membership is the heart of Nelson Yacht Club. As a member, you'll have opportunities to join training courses, club racing, volunteer, serve on committees, and assist with working bees. And after action-filled days on the water, you can unwind and share stories over a drink at the club.
Club racing is a big part of things at Nelson Yacht Club, with races most Saturdays during the season. There’s a mix of handicap and scratch class races, plus some special events. They also host the annual Whakatu Regatta and welcome other regional, national, and international regattas.
Need a venue? Their Aurora Lounge offers a stunning spot for meetings, conferences, parties, or weddings, with unbeatable harbour views. Tim and the team are committed to tailoring each event to its needs.
They’re also dedicated to environmental sustainability. Nelson Yacht Club has received 2 Star recognition under the Yachting New Zealand Clean Club Programme, showcasing their commitment to maintaining a clean, eco-friendly environment.
Tim extends gratitude to all their sponsors. Their support makes many of the club’s activities possible.
