MEMBERSHIP SUBS

Please be aware annual subscriptions will be invoiced in July/August for the coming year. If you haven’t received an invoice, you are a current paid-up member.

Our financial year ends 30 June 2021 and if we haven’t received your payment by this date, sadly we will have to assume you no longer wish to be a member and remove you from our database.

One last Statement has been forwarded to you this week. If you have chosen not to re-join, please let us know.

SHEERLINES NEEDS YOUR PHOTOS

We've got plenty of photos of the Class A glamour boats but lack a good range of launches and other yachts to showcase in Sheerlines.

Please help your hard-working editor by sending your favourite photos to Robyn at editor@classicyacht.org.nz

NB. They need to be in JPG format and two MB or less.

This could be your launch

This could be your yacht
