The New Zealand Multihull Yacht Club (NZMYC) has announced that entries are now open for the 41st PIC Coastal Classic Yacht Race.
With just under five months to go, preparations are underway for this iconic race from Auckland to Russell in the stunning Bay of Islands, scheduled for Labour Weekend (25 October 2024).
Getting ready for the PIC Coastal Classic is key to having a great race.
“While it may seem a long way off, this race will sneak up on you,” says Adrian Percival, Commodore of the NZ Multihull Yacht Club and organiser of the event. “It’s vital to ensure both the boat and crew are organised beforehand. Proper preparation not only maximises performance but also enhances safety, teamwork, and the overall race experience – allowing crews to focus on sailing their best race and making the most of this event.”
Competitors can now enter online. Yacht owners should note that a significant number of Cat 3 certificates are set to expire soon. Yachting New Zealand will be busy processing renewals, so it’s crucial to get paperwork sorted as soon as possible.
