Offshore & Coastal Racing

The Royal Akarana Yacht Club is known as

The Home of Blue Water Sailing

 

Every year RAYC offers a range of coastal and offshore races from Cat 1 to Cat 4 racing

 

Each series can be used as a stepping stone to train crew, prepare your boat and work your way up from racing around the Waitemata Harbour to heading offshore to another country

 

Gold Cup Inshore Series

Category 4 close to shore in relatively warm or protected waters

 

Southern 600

Category 3 + Races across open water, most of which is relatively protected or close to shorelines and nor rounding major capes

 

Ocean Races

Category 1  Passage or races of long distances and well offshore, where yachts must be completely self-sufficient for extended periods of time, capable of withstanding storms and prepared to meet serious emergencies without the expectation of outside assistance
