Cruising
With LBYC

The LBYC Cruising programme aims to provide members interested in the non competitive, social and more leisurely side of boating, with a mixture of educational resources, opportunities to gain practical on water experience, and a few organised excuses to get out there and have some fun on the water.

​

There is a wealth of knowledge on the pages under the 'Cruising' heading, including a great write up about the cook strait, with important local knowledge to apply when crossing. You will also find our Wellington Harbour Moorings Map and the Practical Boating Program there.

​

Below are some of the events and activities covered under the Cruising banner.
