Tutukaka South Pacific Yacht Club Inc is based at Tutukaka on the east coast of Northland, New Zealand, and offers a year-round programme of predominantly-keelboat racing and social events. (Youth sailing for 5-17-year-olds on the Tutukaka Coast is provided by a separate organisation - click here for details).
Over the years, the club's fortunes have ranged from the heady days of backing an America's Cup campaign and plans for a substantial clubhouse, to a more humble membership and financial base. The focus is now on friendly competition for local boats.
The club is an incorporated society and welcomes both New Zealand-based and overseas members.

NEXT TSPYC EVENT: A close-fought but clean tussle all the way around the racecourse provided a rewarding finale for the three crews competing in the last race of the Summer Series. The breeze, which had initially looked light to non-existent, turned out to be reliable for the full duration of the race. Gunsmoke took the line/ handicap double for the race (and graciously provided the venue for the after-match).
The Winter Series begins on May 27 and continues fortnightly from then - click here for the full events calendar. The 2011-12 edition of the TSPYC newsletter The Parrot is now out - click here to download a copy.
