The Manukau Cruising Club
2 ORPHEUS DRIVE - ONEHUNGA
AUCKLAND - NEW ZEALAND
1922 - PRESENT
... 87 years of providing a family friendly gathering place for fishermen and women and boaters of all ages.
The club has to offer members and guests: boat racing which takes a time trial type format, fishing - both inner and outer harbour competitions and is only approximately one hour from some of the best game fishing in New Zealand depending on boat speed.
I was most impressed when I was taking photos in the freezing winter, outside this building when a gentleman told me I was welcomed to go inside. Ka Pai aka well done. I am always wary that the private club of the rich and famous would not welcome outsiders.
As a note of thanks to the gentleman, I copy his club's charter here. May be you too would like to join his club.
