Women On Water Weekend
7
th - 9th March 2025
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.
