Within the Club, young members can learn to sail then train and compete in various classes of boat.

Before training and competing in any class of boat, new sailors should learn to sail at Lake Manuwai.

Optimists
Young sailors, boys and girls from 9 yrs approximately and weight of around 28kg up to 55kg, commonly begin their sailing in Optimists.
Throughout the year Kerikeri Optimist Sailors are involved in an active regatta calendar incorporating the many events open for our young sailors at home (Doves Bay), within Northland and the North Island. There are also opportunities to compete internationally.
Sailors up to age 15 years can join the NZ Optimist International Dinghy Association and sailing with their own boats they progress from the Green Fleet to Open Fleet. Some group coaching is available and during the summer months there is after school sailing at Doves Bay on Thursdays.
For information about the Opti group contact Brett Sheldon (09) 407-4357 Home. Mob: 021-402-919

Splash
Our Splash sailors are involved in an active regatta calendar sailing from Doves Bay, Northland Yacht Clubs and further afield. The Splash is an international youth class centreboard dinghy that was specifically designed to accommodate young sailors who outgrow their smaller boats. As a guideline, Splash boats suit boys and girls aged from 13 yrs up and weighing from 55 kg.
Coaching is organized by the Splash Association and there is opportunity to compete internationally.
There is after school sailing at Doves Bay on Thursday afternoons through the summer months.
For further information contact Andrea Sims Ph. (09) 407-6297

Team Racing
After learning the basics of team racing at Lake Manuwai in Mistrals sailors graduate out to Doves Bay and try out for the 16 man squad which trains in 420 racing dinghies twice a week.
This is a very successful programme producing the top team in the last four National Team Racing Championships.
Conditions are that you must attend Kerkeri High School and be a Kerikeri Cruising Club member.
For more information contact Mrs Shona Gordon at Kerikeri High School on 407 8916.

Lasers
Laser Radials have been selected as the women’s Olympic single handed boat by the IYRU and Yachting NZ. We can expect to see more girls move into this class.
It is the under 19 year old youth training boat and they can step up from radial to full rig.
In Kerikeri, we have a small group of actively competing young sailors who are involved in regattas with the Northland Yachting Association calendar and further afield. Contact Jim Murdoch (09) 407-8262 or Lyn and Graeme McCarty (09) 407-4070
