The REAL NZ Festival of Sails is all about sharing with Rugby World Cup visitors New Zealand’s passion for the sea and our love of sailing and racing upon it.
The REAL NZ Festival of Sails includes a mixture of events, where you can come down to Wellington’s iconic waterfront and see some of our best sailors in action, coupled with opportunities for you to have a go at sailing on Wellington’s beautiful harbour yourself.
