- Sydney to Southport – by Tim Hampton
  - 7 Aug 2022
  - Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club (Inc)

- Cameron and Brent’s delivery to Fiji
  - 19 Jul 2022
  - Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club (Inc)

All in a day’s work… (well 7.5 in fact). I was asked to help deliver a Beneteau 47.3 to Fiji from Whangarei. They [...]

- RPNYC and the Navy
  - 1 Jul 2022
  - Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club (Inc)
  - Club members have been well represented in all of the armed forces through the years, but it comes as no surprise that the closest affinity over the years has been with the Navy. As the Royal New Zealand Navy was only created in 1941, most members joined up as reservists with the Royal Navy during [...]
