MARAETAI SAILING CLUB now has its own website:
www.maraetaisailingclub.org.nz

Maraetai Sailing Club has a Junior Sailing programme over the summer months each year for children from 9 yrs to 18 yrs with training by qualified coaches. The Sailing Club has a number of optimist sailing dinghies for first year juniors who don’t have their own boats. These optimists are available to hire for the first season of sailing. The coaches give freely of their time to train enthusiastic youngsters how to sail. There is a limited number of spaces available for Junior Sailing Tuition.  Registration/Open Day will be Sunday 19th September 2010 at 10am. This will be a fun day with sailing gear on sale, sailing boat rides etc.  The actual Junior Sailing Programme will then begin on Sunday 10th October.
The cost of the Training is $t.b.a. for the season, but the child or family must first belong to the Boating Club and Sailing Club.
There are a number of options: A Full family membership to the boating club costs $220p.a.(plus an initial one off entry fee of $462) plus an annual breakwater levy of $52 plus affiliation to the Sailing Club for the family is $95.00.
Alternatively a Family can take up a Community Membership for just $70p.a plus the Sailing Club affiliation of $95.00 - total of $165. This entitles the family to use the facilities, but not the carpark or boat ramps.
The Club also has a number of patrol boats which remain on the water whilst junior training is in progress. Safety is very important to both Clubs, on and off the water. The Sailing Club juniors must wear an approved buoyancy aid at all times. All parents must be able to assist with duties BBQ etc.

Maraetai Sailing Club also holds weekly racing on Tuesday evenings of Sailing Dinghies for the older juniors and adults,with Jollyboats being a popular choice. Contact  Maraetai Sailing Club Inc for further information:
