Get a taste of sailing and boating
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!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
