What is Waiheke Working Sail?

The goal of the Waiheke Working Sail Charitable Trust (NZ Charities Services Reg No. CC50233) is to establish a sail training, ship building and youth development organisation on Waiheke, teaching and growing traditional skills in boat building and seamanship as well as preserving our sailing heritage in the Hauraki Gulf and beyond.

Our organisation is made up of dedicated volunteers who each bring specialised skills and experience to what WWS has to offer.

Waiheke Working Sail
We rely on donations from the generous community to support us in reaching our goals, particularly when it comes to outfitting our future youth training vessel, Kate. If you would like to support Waiheke Working Sail somehow, please see our Support Us page to learn more or consider donating through our Givealittle fundraising page.
