REGATTAS

To sail in NZPTOA regattas you must be a current financial member of both the Association and a YNZ affiliated club. The fleet is divided into grades A,B, C and Unseeded for those who have not yet sailed at Nationals. Within the fleet there are also Age groups and a Womens division which means that there is competition at all levels and everyone has something to sail for which keeps it enjoyable.

The International Paper Tiger teams contest is hosted in alternate years by New Zealand and Australia, with a lay year every 3 years.
