Founded in 1900 in Saint Mary’s Bay the Ponsonby Cruising Club has been a part of Auckland & Ponsonby’s waterfront for 125 years.
Located in what is now Westhaven Marina, our venue enjoys a stunning location with magnificent views of the Waitemata Harbour and the Auckland Harbour Bridge on one side, and the marina through to Auckland City and the Sky Tower on the other.
Our sailing programme includes a variety of events including the ever-popular Thursday Rum Races, our Women’s Series, Winter Series, Upper Harbour races to Riverhead and Taikata at Te Atatu. Ponsonby is the home of the Mullet Boats who race annually for the fabulous Lipton Cup. 2025 is not only the 125th year since the founding of the Club but will be the 104th race for the Lipton Cup.
The Classic Yacht Association join us for several events including the Upper Harbour Regatta, the Vintage & Veterans Regatta and our ANZAC day regatta – the regatta with the Mark Foy start.
