⚓ Suddenly in Charge — Tauranga Yachties ⚓
What would you do if you were **suddenly in charge** on the water? This short, hands-on workshop from local **Coastguard Volunteers**, in conjunction with the Tauranga Yacht and Power Boat Club, is all about building confidence, safety skills and connection on the water — with special expertise on how to manage in a yacht if things get tough.

This one's for you if:
• You're often on the boat but the skipper, your partner or whānau member is usually at the helm
• You want to know what to do if things go pear-shaped
• You'd like to feel **calmer, safer and more capable** on the water
• You want to learn in a **fun, supportive, interactive environment**

✔ You'll gain essential boat-handling and safety know-how, practical guidance for emergency situations, the confidence to step up if you're suddenly in charge — and a genuine connection with your local Coastguard unit people. Plus space to share stories, laughter and learning.

💛 **Cost: koha** — and numbers are limited, so **register now** to secure your place!

📅 **Tuesday 10 November 2026, 6pm – 8:30pm**
📍 **Tauranga Yacht and Power Boat Club, 90 Keith Allen Drive, Sulphur Point, Tauranga**

Come as you are. Learn what matters. Leave feeling capable. 🌊
