Get a taste of sailing and boating

Annette Lambly-Robinson Reporter from Whangārei Leader

On Monday 30th January Whangarei Cruising Club are holding a Club Open day and inviting people of all ages and abilities to come along and get a taste of sailing and boating.
This event is a part of Volvo Sailing & Boating Week 2017, a nationwide initiative from Yachting New Zealand to celebrate and showcase the sport.

From 10am onwards, the public is invited to a relaxed Family Fun Day out at the club’s Parua Bay facilities to kick off the sailing season. There will be a range of sailing and boating activities to try including sailing, kayaking and stand up paddle boarding.
The Volvo Sailing...Have a Go! trailer will be there so there will be a range of boats available with instructors and other sailors around to show you how it is done, or just take you for a joyride! Lifejackets will be provided. This is special opportunity to experience the thrills and excitement of Sailing!

This is suitable for all ages so take the whole family for a great chance to get out on the water and trying fun activities!
