LETS GET UNDERWAY. the 2016 RNZYS CHARITY REGATTA THE ROYAL NEW ZEALAND YACHT SQUADRON AND THE SIR PETER BLAKE TRUST IS DELIGHTED TO INVITE YOU TO ATTEND THE 2016 RNZYS CHARITY REGATTA. We are looking forward to you joining us for a perfect day of sailing with some of New Zealand’s best talent, joining your friends and colleagues, or hosting your clients to an afternoon of fun. You will also be joining some of New Zealand’s top businesses which makes for a great networking opportunity! Established in 1987, the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron Charity Regatta provides an opportunity for the Squadron to support local charities and causes in addition to providing Squadron Sponsors, Corporate Members and their guests an opportunity to socialise and network during an afternoon of sailing and an evening of entertainment. This year the ‘Great Blake Race’ is sailing in support of two great causes; The Sir Peter Blake Trust and the Squadron’s own International Sailing Fund. Monies raised from the event go towards the SPBT Young Blake Expeditions and our ISF that supports our hottest sailing and race management talent to attend overseas regattas. We are delighted you are joining us for a day of sailing with the ‘Great Blake Race’; plenty of international food, wine and beer, live music and entertainment, live auction with some items money just can’t (CAN!) buy! So sit back, relax and enjoy this international day out on the water! Steve Mair COMMODORE 03 NOV 2016 The Sir Peter Blake Trust continues the legacy started by this great New Zealander. Sir Peter Blake’s leadership, love for the environment and dedication to helping young people achieve their goals and develop their leadership capability is at the heart of all the programmes we deliver. Our purpose is to inspire and shape the next generation of Kiwi leaders, adventurers and environmentalists. In February 2016, the Trust undertook its third Young Blake Expedition to the Sub-Antarctic place synonymous with Peter’s name and an area he was passionate about. Your generous support of the RNZYS Charity Regatta and ‘Great Blake Race’; will go toward the funding of this and future expeditions including the creation of Blake Station in the Sub-Antarctic. Thank you from the Sir Peter Blake Trust. The Squadron’s International Sailing Fund has supported the Squadron’s hottest sailing and race management talent to attend overseas regattas, and in many cases launch international sailing careers, for over 28 years. Since its inception in 1987 the fund has raised and provided in excess of $500,000 and for over 220 recipients - many of whom you now see sailing in the America’s Cup, Volvo Ocean Race, Olympics and on the ISAF World Match Racing Circuit – Phil Robertson current #1, Chris Steele, Adam Minoprio, Ryan Houston – Team Alvemedica Volvo Ocean Race 2014/15 – to name a few! There is little doubt that New Zealand’s yachting successes can be attributed to the financial support of this fund. Your support of the RNZYS 2016 Charity Regatta directly supports the Squadron’s, and indeed New Zealand’s, rockstar sailors and race management talent of tomorrow. Thank you from the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron and all those individuals past, present and future who have and will benefit from this Fund.
