Napier Info

In Napier we have a world class sailing venue with a great club, open water, good winds and negligible currents. The Yacht Club and its facilities are as good as you will see anywhere in the world, and the experienced race management will ensure a superbly run regatta. New Zealand has an abundance of great sailing venues to choose from to host a World Championships, and we have selected Napier as the perfect choice. Napier has hundreds of hotel and motel rooms within walking distance of the Yacht Club, and the airport is just a 3 minute drive away.
