Cruising Events
Cruising the Pacific Seminar, 16 November
- Ever dreamed about cruising New Zealand or the South Pacific. The South Pacific Sailing Network (SPSN) is comprised of a group of yacht clubs, marinas and marine businesses currently stretching from Panama to New Caledonia and down to NZ whose aim is to encourage and support cruising in the South Pacific.
Of course the option of departing Australia to arrive in the Bay of Islands in May in time to join the yachts heading north is always available.
Ross and Vicki who are members of SPSN are visiting RPAYC and will be giving an audio-visual presentation of their experiences in, and access to, New Zealand and the South Pacific islands. Naturally, they will also be ready to answer any questions you may have.
The presentation commences at 7:30pm, Pittwater Room.
Dinner available from Halyards Bistro prior
