Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron (RNZYS) is based in Auckland, New Zealand. It is an Auckland club on the Waitemata Harbour, in a city that treats sailing as part sport, part civic habit.
Founded in 1871, it has become known for America's Cup pedigree, harbour racing, youth development and a national sailing profile far larger than its postcode.
On the water, Auckland's harbour racing is tactical and busy, with breeze lanes, ferry wash and sharp crews all fighting for space.
Ashore, The Squadron offers club hospitality, race management and training links in one of the world's most active sailing cities.
For visiting sailors, Visiting sailors should check regatta dates, berth options and local harbour rules before joining the Auckland shuffle.
