Started in 1972 as the Auckland Multihull Sailing Association, the NZMYC’s focus is on providing cruising, racing, and educational events for multi- and monohull sailors around the country.
Our fleet ranges in size from small trimarans to large cruising cats, and our members run the gamut of experience from first-time boat owners to sailing industry professionals. Advice, assistance, and ideas flow freely among our group, whether we are gathered physically or online.

We welcome all sailors to get involved with our community. Our home base is at the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron on the Westhaven breakwater, where we host regular information nights and gatherings.
