Evolution Sails Women on Water Weekend

Friday 15 March - Sunday 17 March 2024

A short distance north of Auckland, the sailing grounds around Gulf Harbour are the best the Hauraki Gulf has to offer. A plethora of islands on the doorstep for cruising and a race area that rarely sees any commercial traffic is a blessing. So what's not to love come join us for this three day event and experience it for yourself.

Our PredictWind webcam gives a live stream of the waters just south of the yacht club with Rangitoto in the distance.
