RPNYC and Wellington Classic Yacht Trust are running a fundraiser for Atalanta (launched in 1894). Included in the ticket is a walking heritage tour of Clyde Quay, a peek in the boatsheds, a spot prize of a cruise on board Oyster (launched new year’s day 1903) and a light supper. Best of all perhaps, is that the Pōneke Shanty Club will be in attendance! Tickets are limited so get in quick by purchasing here.
Our very own club historian Gavin Pascoe will be hosting a walking heritage tour of our backyard – Clyde Quay Boat Harbour. This is followed by a light soup supper and sing along entertainment provided by the Poneke Shanty Club. Meet at RPNYC at 6pm.
Funds raised will go to the restoration of Alalanta, an iconic part of Wellington’s sailing history. For more information about the yacht check out this story from our club history.
