“We understand that many North Island sailors have struggled to get bookings on the ferries to come down for the 2023 Interislander Optimist Challenge. Due to unprecedented domestic demand, and the changes to how rental cars are now moved around the country, there has been very little space for vehicles unless booked well in advance.
For those willing to drive to Wellington and leave their vehicle there, it is possible to walk your Opti onto an Interislander Ferry and currently there are still places available. QCYC have a team of people that will help you transport your boat to and from the yacht club (plus your accommodation if necessary).
Email: coach_coordinator@qcyc.org.nz for details on how to make this type of booking.”
