2022’s largest superyacht event in the southern hemisphere, shows yachts have made a return

January 22, 2023 by Caroline

A superyacht welcome function, held last month marking the start of the cruising season in New Zealand, showed the strength of the return of superyachts to the southern hemisphere cruising grounds. 

Superyachts are back, and the New Zealand industry has welcomed them with open arms.

At the country’s annual Superyacht Welcome Function, which marks the start of the superyacht season in New Zealand, crew from more than 30 superyachts gathered to celebrate the return to New Zealand’s iconic cruising grounds.

Hundreds of crew, both newly arrived in New Zealand and from yachts that had undergone refit in the country through winter, demonstrated the return of superyachts in force to New Zealand for its cruising season.

Hosted by Superyacht New Zealand and NZ Marine, crew were joined by key industry representatives and 54 sponsor companies from the domestic market, which specialises in the provision of high-quality refit and services. The event was also an opportunity to foreshadow one of the key events on the superyacht calendar in New Zealand, as Sail GP prepares to race in March 2023, with Sail GP’s chief commercial officer, Karl Budge on hand to get the crowd excited about the superyacht and VIP race viewing to come.

New Zealand’s superyacht-friendly legislation and easy clearance policies have seen yachts rapidly return to the country, with a two-year temporary import entry (TIE) gaining yachts tax concessions. With the opportunity to access GST-free goods, services, and refit, the nation has also greatly increased its marine infrastructure, ensuring vessels have world-class facilities.

The past three years have seen New Zealand’s inner city marinas, haul out and refit facilities increase exponentially and it’s now possible to berth an exceptional number of large superyachts in the heart of major cities.

Peter Busfield, executive director of NZ Marine, the organisation which administers Superyacht New Zealand, greeted guests and thanked crew for visiting New Zealand.

He invited crew to pick up a copy of the Destination & Cruising New Zealand book, which is also available for download. Detailing the best of New Zealand cruising, it acts as a companion for crew both planning their New Zealand journey and those already in the country.

The guide has just been re-released with updated information. Download the Guide here , and see Superyacht New Zealand for more information.

ZEPHYR NATIONALS 

2-6 february 2023.

Hosted by Worser Bay Boating Club

​​​​​​​​

A Wellington National Championships is an absolute highlight that draws great fleets from across the country due to the capital's central location, with the 2018 regatta attracting 73 entries (and 2022 with over 67 prior to covid-19 cancellation) - this is not a regatta to miss!

The 2022 Nationals Organising Committee thank the following sponsors for their generous support:

By Destination Great Lake Taupo

With 15,000 kilometres of stunning coastline, sheltered sounds and island-dotted harbours, New Zealand has everything you could ask of a sailing holiday.

If you’re an experienced yachtsman you can charter a vessel and embark on your own sailing adventure or, if you want to relax and watch the world pass slowly by, you can opt for a skipper and crew. Skippered voyages and sailing tours range from a leisurely cruise with afternoon tea on the harbour to several days on a fully-fledged ocean-going maxi yacht. The boats range in character and speed from restored historic square-riggers to the highest technology New Zealand’s Americas Cup winners. Where to sail is up to you; there are certainly no shortage of choices. The marine reserves are good places to start; the Bay of Islands, Hauraki Gulf, and the Marlborough Sounds. The sheltered harbours and islands make for picturesque journeys before opening out to inshore cruising grounds. There are also a number of popular coastal journeys where you can moor each day in a sheltered bay before heading onward. The east coast, north of Auckland, on route to the Bay of Islands, the Kerikeri Inlet or the fiord-like Whangaroa Harbour is a particularly scenic cruise.

Running National Events

Yachting & Boating Quarterly Edition 2

Yachting New Zealand has regulations in place for National Championship events and other major regattas to ensure there is value in the title of “National Champion”.

Guidelines for Organising Authorities on the steps and requirements to run a Yachting New Zealand approved National Championship event.

These regulations also aim to ensure National and World Championship events are sailed in accordance with the practices and procedures that apply to major events that shall be of a uniformly high standard of organisation on the water and on shore, and all New Zealand sailors can be informed of the opportunity to compete for the title of “National Champion”.

National championship events will be appointed a National Race Officer to review your race documentation and provide race management guidance if required. See Regulation 4.5.4 Yachting New Zealand approval of National Championships and Other Major Events for full details and criteria.

If an event fully complies with Regulation 4.5.4, the winner of a Yachting New Zealand National Event will be officially recognised as the National Champion. They will have their name published in the Yachting New Zealand Annual Report and the list of National champions as well as receive a Yachting New Zealand National Champion certificate. For all clubs wanting to run a National Championship event there are a few steps that must be taken meet the criteria set in Yachting New Zealand’s Regulation 4.5.4.

Step One: Submit an Application A National/Major Event Application Form to run the event must be submitted to Yachting New Zealand no later than 30th June. Once approved all dates will be published on the regatta calendar on Yachting New Zealand’s website.

Step Two: Submit a Notice of Race A draft Notice of Race and entry form must be submitted to Yachting New Zealand for approval before publication, 4 months prior to the event. The NOR must be written using the YNZ Standard NOR template. This template is designed for users to simply input their relevant event information, and ensures the NOR has everything that is required as per RRS Appendix J. Please make sure that you have the correct format and do not use a previous year’s version; it may have been superseded. www.yachtingnz.org.nz

Step Three: Submit Sailing Instructions Draft Sailing Instructions must be submitted to Yachting New Zealand for approval before publication, 2 months prior to the event. The Sailing Instructions must be written using the standard YNZ Sailing Instructions template. The intention is to provide the information in a format familiar to sailors, in the order in which they would need it, and in a language which has specific and accepted meanings. Please make sure that you have the correct format and do not use a previous year’s version; it may have been superseded.

Step Four: Submit an Event Report A National Event Report Form must be sent to Yachting New Zealand no more than two weeks after the event, along with a set of final results. This allows Yachting New Zealand to establish that the event has been run to the standards required, and officially recognise the winner as a National Champion. It is also a means of identifying and addressing any problems and any improvements noted for future occasions.

Other important criteria to note for running an approved national championship event:

  • Regulations regarding the Organising Authority’s insurance requirements must be met.
  • The race officer must be a Yachting NZ qualified National Race Officer.
  • You must appoint a protest committee of minimum 3 people incl. at least one Yachting NZ qualified National Judge. Dispensation can be granted to allow a National Judge on telephone link if necessary.
  • A minimum of 7 races shall be scheduled of which a minimum of 5 races are required to be completed to constitute a series.
  • A minimum of six yachts must have started in any one race in the series (with the exception of the following classes: Skud 18, 2.4, Sonar, Hansa 2.3, Hansa Liberty, Hansa 303 – Single Handed, Hansa 303 – Double Handed where 5 yachts must have started in any one race in the series).
  • All entrants and crew members shall be financial members of a yacht club affiliated to Yachting New Zealand, or be a member of his/her Member National Authority.

Note: contact YNZ if you cannot find an appropriately qualified Race Official as required to assist. We have a database of people who are often looking for events.

Downloads of the required documents and links to useful resources and information are all available on the Yachting New Zealand Race Official and Event Resources page.
