We have sailors from Tahiti, Australia and Fiji who are keen to attend our nationals however time is running out for them to book flights and accommodation. If you have a spare Open fleet quality Optimist in the garage that is in great working order and ready to sail we would love to hear from you!!
All boat charters will be by private arrangement between the two parties. NZIODA will not be involved other than connecting those who wish to charter out boats with our overseas sailors.
Please note that this will mean that you will also need to arrange transport to and from New Plymouth for the event. Charter fees will be decided between the two parties. Please see below for recommended price guidelines. Some overseas coaches may also be interested in hiring a RIB for the event.
If you have an Optimist or RIB that you would like to charter, please fill in this form by 28th February 2026 so that we have time to connect sailors with boats.
