RNZYS Level 2 Race Crew Training Elliott 7. The course is completed sailing the Elliott 7 boats. The Elliott 7 fleet consists of 10 identical 7 meter yachts which in addition to Learn to Sail courses are used for National and International match racing events and National fleet racing regattas.
They are also used for charter and corporate sailing events and RNZYS Club fleet and match racing.
The fleet has been a key element in the development of NZ’s vast talent of young sailors to national and international elite keelboat sailing culminating for many in successful careers.
As the boats are evenly matched and easy to sail, they provide exciting yachting for all levels of abilities from beginners to experienced yachties.
The fleet is professionally managed to ensure all users gain maximum benefits from these great yachts and berthed very close to RNZYS at Westhaven allowing easy access to the ideal sailing playground of Auckland’s Waitemata harbour.
