Friday Night Fun Races Summer 2026/27

Kick off your weekends on the water! We've got seven Friday night family friendly fun races spread across the season. The perfect chance to dip your toes into sailing or simply enjoy some friendly competition.

No club membership required, everyone's welcome.
Relaxed racing just a main and headsails (no spinnakers or gennakers).
Simple triangle courses length determined by the amount of wind.
Staggered start times so no challenging start lines - smaller/slower boats starting first, with the aim of having all boats finishing around the same time.

Start times between 1700 and 1730

Back to THE CLUB afterwards for day prizes, a well-earned meal & drink and lots of socialising

These aren't run as a series but as individual races so just enter on an ad hoc basis or make a bulk purchase for all of them

Full details in the Notice of Race or email admin@ghyc.co.nz with any questions.

Go on give it a go! We'd love to see you out there making the most of summer evenings on the water.
