Doyle Sails Gold Cup Series

The Doyle Sails Gold Cup Series brings together four Auckland yachting clubs: Royal Akarana Yacht Club, Bucklands Beach Yacht Club, Richmond Yacht Club, and the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron.

Led by RAYC, the series features a mix of challenging coastal races, with four courses ranging from 35 to 48 nautical miles. The finale, the Balokovic Cup, steps up as a true offshore test, an overnight race of around 89 nautical miles that often proves decisive in the overall standings.
