Welcome
The Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club, or ‘Port Nic’ as it is referred to by its members, would like to invite you to use the
many facilities, products and connections our Club can offer, helping you to promote your business.
The Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club was founded in 1883, and is now one of the largest Yacht Clubs in New Zealand.
We have produced many fine sailors, amongst other the recent Emirates Team New Zealand America’s Cup winners
Josh Junior and Matt Hibbard.
With the Wellington Ocean Sports Centre and the Wellington Youth Sailing Trust under our wings, we have not just a
rich history but an investment in the future, in competitive yacht racing development, casual sailing and making water
sport activities available to everyone.
We provide superb waterfront facilities, from board meeting rooms to a public restaurant and large private function
rooms including catering options. We also plan team building events and hire out a range of water sport equipment.
With your involvement and support we can not only help your business to grow but also invest in the future of our
club, the sailing community in Wellington and promote safe water sports overall.
What’s on offer?
Port Nic counts over 500 members, with around a third being active sailors, a third joining our social activities more
than the on-the-water action and the remaining ones are supporters, honorary members, and sponsors. We send a
weekly newsletter to our subscribers, and along with our website, these are the clubs most frequently visited
channels. Opportunities to have your business promoted via these channels is part of the package we offer.
For our racing events we regularly welcome boats from Evans Bay and Lowry Bay Yacht Clubs. For our annual Regatta
we receive visitors from all over New Zealand, which increases our fleet and the exposure of your brand.
Contact us for details and options. We thank you for your interest and contribution and welcome you to our Club.

Rum Race Series – our casual race evening
What better way to finish the week? Our Friday Rum races are a more casual race series and provide a
perfect way to sail Wellington’s harbour at sunset. Mostly a non-spinnaker series, it’s a great way to give
less experienced sailors, guests and sponsors a go. Traditionally, the winners walk away with your
sponsored bottle of rum.

Radio controlled DragonForce 65’s
The DF65 is the most popular radio sailing yacht in the world – and we acquired a fleet of seven of them for
our club members to use whenever they are at the club. Even better, corporates and groups hiring our
venue for functions are able to access them too, so with your logo on the sails these yachts are an eye-
catching and fun way to promote your brand.

WOSC – seasonal Training boat sponsoring
The Wellington Ocean Sports Centre has been setup to promote safe water sport in Wellington and the
regions. It provides courses and equipment hire from stand up paddle boarding over kayaking and keelboat
sailing, and organises programmes for schools. The Ocean Sport Centre caters for everyone – any age group,
and from anyone wanting to ‘give it a go’ to casual and experienced participants.

The two purpose built Muir 8.2m keelboat Sailing yachts are a prime space to promote your brand –
it’s a floating billboard used to deliver our training courses, race in Port Nic’s race series and are hired
out to corporate events and public harbour sails.

WOSC’s top location at the waterfront is a buzzing place especially
on weekends, making this package a highly visible choice.

WOSC – School Kids safe boating programme
The Wellington Ocean Sports Centre has designed this programme to deliver the water safety message and
educate children in a practical way which is not done as part of any other school education, even though
every year on average 90 New Zealanders die from drowning.

                          Our goal is that every child in the Greater Wellington Region will receive safe
                          boating education, especially those most in need of this training. To achieve this, we
                          need to supplement the existing Grant Funding we receive from the supportive
                          foundations, as the price of the participation can be a barrier for some kids.

The Wellington Ocean Sports Centre has invested in the facilities and skills in order to deliver this important
programme, and with ~750 participants every year, we are making an important contribution to the safety
of Wellington's children.

With your valuable help we can make an even bigger difference – be part of it and support this great cause.
