Upcoming Events

Patio Bay Classic Boat Year End BBQ 7th December 2024 presented by Glengarry

Ahoy, me hearties! Join us for a celebration of classic boats, good company, and fun – on and off the water.

Choose your way to get to Patio Bay. Rally across at your own pace along side fellow launches and yachts, enjoy the stress free sea breeze. If you like the thrill of the chase sign up for the Passage Series Race, along side other classic racers.

On- Water Events

  • Classic Yacht Race:
    Watch the action as the races starts at 10:45am and 11:00 from Orakei buoy.
  • Classic Boat Rally:
    Classic launches and yachts set off from Orakei buoy at 11:10. Rally down to Patio Bay at your own pace, enjoy the experience and try to arrive around 15:30 to enjoy the festivities.

Off- Water Fun

  • Pirate-Themed BBQ and Social
    Everyone is welcome to join the fun, whether you are racing, rallying or just coming along for the party! The BBQ kicks off at 17:00 at Patio Bay. It’s a BYO affair, so bring your own food and drinks and enjoy an evening of camaraderie and celebration.
  • Formal Pirate Attire Not Required
    However one piece of traditional pirate attire per person is not too much to ask.
  • Dingy Race & Treasure Hunt
    When you come ashore, don't forget your oars! You always need 2 forms of propulsion. Don't bring a shovel you won't need it, you might want it but you won't need it.

 

Registration Required for Rallying or Racing by following the links below

We look forward to seeing you at Patio Bay for a day of fun, food, and friendship (also possible a little rum. Thanks Glengarry)!

Sheerlines includes updates on upcoming social events, races and regattas. With your subscription you'll also receive the CYANZ Journal bi-monthly.
