Racing

At the Ponsonby Cruising Club, we offer a selection of keelboat racing options throughout the year and we try to keep as smooth and professional as possible but our emphasis is on having fun!

After a fun day racing on the harbour, come back to the clubhouse for the informal prize giving, the bar and galley will be open.

See below for course information and general sailing instructions.

See our Racing Calendar below for full programme information and dates.
