Whangarei Cruising Club

The club has it's headquarters on Riverside drive with the Clubhouse built over the water of the lower Hatea River estuary.
The Whangarei Coastguard has it's headquarters based in the Club House.
Also the Club plays host for the local Parihaka Whaka ama club.

At Parua Bay there is another well appointed Clubhouse where the Centre Boarders and Trailer Sailers are based. The club has a fleet of Waterwise Optimists to teach our younger sailors and a small fleet of 420 centeboard yachts for the more proficient sailors.

Also the club has a small fleet of sailability yachts for the disabled. Plans are afoot to make this sport more accessible by improving boarding accessibilty.

There is a secure storage compound where larger trailer yachts and power boats rent space. This is complemented with a Tractor to launch the craft down the adjacent Club ramp.
The Club is honoured to have some dedicated people championing the sailing sport.
