Clyde Quay Heritage Walk

Learn about an iconic spot in Wellington, the architecture, hear some of the stories of the area, get a peek into some of the sheds, and finish up with a refreshment at the Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club rooms

This iconic spot is perhaps the most photographed area in Wellington, popular with locals and visitors. Woven into this space is well over a century of New Zealand life: it has been a haven to refugees and a springboard to adventure. Learn about the architecture, hear some of the stories, get a peek into some of the sheds, and finish up with a refreshment at the Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club rooms

Wellington Classic Yacht Trust

Wellington Classic Yacht Trust is a registered charitable trust (CC49281) formed in 2010 dedicated to the preservation, restoration and above all, sailing of small vessels with a significant history to Wellington and the region. We primarily operate out of Clyde Quay on Oriental Parade, Wellington. We exist to share our passion for the history of these vessels and the sport of yachting with the wider community; and encourage ownership and use of such vessels to ensure their continued useful existence. Gavin Pascoe is a maritime historian and current chair of the Trust.
