THE WOMEN'S SAILING DIVISION OF TYPBC

Women On Water is designed to give women of all ages and from all walks of life the opportunity to experience sailing in both a racing and non-racing capacity. Established in 2001, the concept of taking complete beginners out sailing on the

Tauranga harbour now attracts over 100 women each WOW night during the summer season. Through WOW, many of us have gain

ed the skills and knowledge required to sail proficiently and many now crew regularly and even own their own yachts. The WOW summer series, sponsored by Mills Reef Wines, comprises 9 sails starting on Thursday October 13th 2022 then each fortnight up to Xmas and through to early 2023. It is important to get to the club by 5.15pm otherwise you may find yourself left on the dock. Due to the staggered Mark Foy start the smaller, slower boats must leave the dock by 5.30pm but faster boats can leave a bit later, but it’s best to be early. After the sail we encourage everyone to come to the club for prize giving, spot prizes, raffles and to purchase WOW merchandise. It’s a great time to get to know your skipper and crew. A buffet meal is available and the bar is open so come join us for a night of sailing and fun with lots of other like-minded women

That's a wrap for the 2025/26 season! While the weather wasn't on our side, we celebrated our last WOW night for the season with games, quizzes and lots of laughter.
Here is a collection of photos from this season.

Thanks to our sponsors Leveret Mills Reef who added a special touch to this evening with a tasting of their premium award winning wines.

If you want to continue sailing during winter and make the most of your club membership, contact the office to get on our WhatsApp crewfinder! The best way to experience sailing is to go out there and challenge yourself!

We're getting pumped for Sail 4 tonight! Sail 3 was canned do to high winds, but a couple of yachts from the WOW fleet made it out for wee sail in a more sheltered spot in the harbour. Photo sent in my Chris Rapson aboard his Ngaio Rose snapping a shot of Mark's Lively Lady. A fun experience for our WOW ladies aboard with these 2 keen skippers!
