Ahoy there me old shivering matey! Try your hand at sailing the old-fashioned way, aboard the 32-foot gaff yawl Oyster. Built in Auckland in 1903, the Oyster spent her working life in Nelson where she was a champion racer; she can still manage a respectable eight knots. Learn the ropes under the tutelage of skipper Mike, while viewing Lyttelton Harbour and the hills of Banks Peninsula from an entirely new angle. Dolphins often accompany the Oyster, which is licensed to carry six. Guaranteed to turn landlubbers into Jack Tars (sailors). Check website for more information.
