Utterly amazing

This was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure and was utterly amazing. I say this as an older woman with *no* sailing history and limited mobility. I felt entirely welcome and the entire thing was fantastic. Make yourself do it even if it’s lashing rain and high winds. The crew is brimming with expertise and you’ll be so glad you took the leap.

Friday Rum Race on Steinlager

The Friday Rum Race was such a fun social experience!! The crews members were very welcoming, knowledgeable especially I am an amateur, never been on a sail yacht before this! This definitely one of a memorable afternoon, well spent on the Auckland harbour!

Brilliant Trip!

Not much wind for us, but we still got a good speed on this fantastic yacht. I will have to go again sometime!
