New Zealand’s largest multi-day sailing regatta is set to unfold in the beautiful Bay of Islands from 21st-24th January
2025. This event promises to be bigger and better, building on the excitement from last year's milestone of 100
participating boats. We are thrilled to announce that this will be the 22nd edition of the Bay of Islands Sailing Week.
Bay of Islands Sailing Week is a volunteer-run event celebrated by sailors since its inception in 2003. Known as “the
best big-boat regatta in NZ” by Peter Montgomery, the event showcases keelboats, trailer yachts, and sports boats while
promoting the Bay of Islands as a premier sailing and holiday destination.
The regatta was inspired by Tony and Nina Kiff, who arrived in New Zealand from England in 1992. With the support of
local yacht clubs, they established the event, which has grown significantly thanks to community grants, corporate
sponsorship, and participant support.
The event relies on the dedication of about sixty volunteers each year and the generosity of sponsors to bring
international-standard racing to the New Zealand sailing community. We are proud to continue this tradition and welcome
sailors and spectators alike to join us for an unforgettable experience.
