2021 Whakatu Regatta (inc. Europe National Championships)

Nelson Yacht Club is looking to build on the growing success of its annual Whakatu Regatta. Held over the middle weekend in January, it is a great time for families to visit the Nelson & Tasman region and enjoy some fantastic sea breeze sailing in Tasman Bay. The event plays host to various South Island Championships from time to time as well as National Championships for smaller classes.

In 2021 the event will host the Europe National Championships from the 15th – 17th, the Flying Dutchman South Island Champs and the 29er South Island Champs.

Other classes are invited to contact us on manager@nelsonyachtclub.org.nz if they are interested in hosting their South Island or National Championships in Nelson.
