Port Whangarei Marine Centre joins the PIC Coastal Classic as key sponsor, leading the Rally

The PIC Coastal Classic is excited to announce Port Whangarei Marine Centre as a key sponsor for the 2024 race, including their exclusive sponsorship of the Rally, which has become a cherished part of the event.


Located at the heart of Whangarei Harbour, the Port Whangarei Marine Centre offers state-of-the-art haul-out facilities, making it an ideal and cost-effective alternative to Auckland's limited options, whether you’re preparing for the race or completing post-race maintenance.


To celebrate the sponsorship Port Whangarei Marine Centre is offering a 50% discount on haul-outs to all PIC Coastal Classic participants! This generous offer ensures sailors have the best possible support to keep their vessels in peak condition before and after the race.


“We’re thrilled to have Port Whangarei Marine Centre onboard as a key sponsor,” said Adrian Percival, Commodore of the NZ Multihull Yacht Club, organisers of the PIC Coastal Classic. "Their support not only provides world-class services but also reflects their dedication to the yachting community. The 50% discount on haul-out fees is a fantastic way to celebrate their involvement, showing true commitment to both the event and the participants. Positioned perfectly at the midway point of the race, they also provide a safe haven if you need to go ashore, making your journey smoother and more manageable.”


Commenting on the sponsorship, Nathan Tomlinson, Yacht Support, said, “We are excited to support the PIC Coastal Classic, which perfectly aligns with our values of excellence in yachting. The 50% discount haul-out we’re offering is our way of showing how much we value this partnership and want to make a meaningful contribution to the success of the event. We’re also delighted to host the Rally which offers a fantastic way for sailors to engage with the Coastal Classic, combining the thrill of the race with the enjoyment of a more relaxed, social atmosphere.”


The 2024 PIC Coastal Classic is set to be another unforgettable event, drawing sailors from across the country and beyond. With the addition of Port Whangarei Marine Centre to the list of key sponsors, the race continues to grow in both prestige and capability, offering participants an exceptional experience on and off the water.
