    The Nelson Radio Sailing Club is a small incorporated club of approximately 45 members situated at the top of the South Island, New Zealand.

    Our main home is Best Island Pond on which we hold local, provincial and South Island Championships for IOMs, DF65s, DF95s and other classes, as required.

    The Club is a member of the NZ Radio Yacht Association (NZRYA) which in turn is affiliated with Yachting New Zealand and a member of the International Radio Sailing Association. (IRSA)

    We sail predominantly IOMs and DF65s and have a growing fleet of DF95s and EC12s. We welcome all classes of radio yachts to join us.

    This website will give you more information such as contacts, the sailing program, and how to become a member.
