Youth Programme Partnerships RNZYS recently named Emirates Team NZ as naming rights partner of its Youth Training Programme, signaling openness to corporate sponsorships and co-branded initiatives. This creates opportunities to sponsor training fleets and equipment, coaching programs and youth events, with exposure to the Squadron’s 2,800 members and international affiliates.

High-Value Events The club’s sea front location and upscale facilities including a ballroom for up to 300 and multiple function rooms position RNZYS as a premier venue for corporate events, product launches and prestige gatherings. This enables selling event services, catering, AV, and sponsor activations aligned with sailing events.

Member Growth Tech With a large and international member base and active divisions in membership, events and retail, RNZYS offers a strong channel for marketing and commerce. There is opportunity to introduce membership management software, CRM, e commerce and marketing automation tailored to engage local and overseas members.

Training Fleet Supply The Mastercard Youth Training Programme and the 10 Elliott 7s fleet launch indicate ongoing capacity for training activities. This creates demand for boats, sails, equipment, parts, maintenance services and related coaching or branding opportunities, potentially in partnership with equipment brands like North Sails.

Prestige Sponsorships RNZYS’s history of top level sailing success and world class racing heritage, combined with its premium hospitality and media exposure, provides a compelling platform for sponsorship deals, media partnerships and branded experiences around major races and events.
