Pleasant Point Yacht Club

Thanks to everyone who came to the working bee this morning.
- A cellphone was handed in to PPYC this morning that was found in the club's grounds. It had a image of a Golden Retriever on the lockscreen. If this is yours please message our page and we will do our best to reunite it with you. Thanks!

This SUNDAY August 30th, we are holding our Pre-Season working bee at the club, from 9am - 12:30pm.
So come on down and lend a hand and have a yarn to others 😎. There is something for everyone to do, from planting and weeding to boat repairs, and everything in between! So come on down and join in the fun. See you there.

Calling all sailors.....the start of the 2026/27 Sailing Season is approaching rapidly! Only two weeks to go until opening day. Opening day at PPYC is the 6th of September, with more details to follow.
We have a bumper programme of sailing coming up this season, with events to suit anyone and everyone with more details on our website (https://www.ppycsailing.nz).
So, dust off the cobwebs, and come on down and get involved - we'd love to see you out there on the water!

Well, that’s officially a wrap for our 2025/26 sailing season at PPYC! Thankyou to everyone who came along to our AGM + Prizegiving on Sunday, it was great to have a good turnout of members both new and old. Congratulations to all of our well deserved prizewinners for the season! Special thanks to Steve for the photos of all the action, both today and throughout the entire season!! There is lots planned for the winter months prior to our opening day next season, so stay tuned!

What a fantastic day we had weather wise on Sunday for our Closing Day - it was amazing to see 33 boats racing from Pleasant Point, along with 29 from Christchurch, and a few more from Mount Pleasant. What a great way to end the season - especially when Opening Day racing had to be abandoned due to the weather!
Thanks to everyone who helped make the day a success, Steve for the photos, and everyone else for your help throughout the season!
