Sailing instruction
The Trailer Yacht Division is the smallest in the Tauranga Yacht & Power Boat Club and is run by an enthusiastic group of dedicated sailors. Trailer yachting is generally regarded as the budget end of sailing with a competitive racing boat or comfortable cruiser able to be on the water for less than $10,000. Of course, as with all forms of yachting, the sky’s the limit & a brand new 8 metre production trailer yacht could set you back around $140,000.
The division has two main focuses, those who prefer the competitive racing and those who enjoy the more relaxed weekend cruises.
