Welcome to the web site of the Christchurch Yacht Club
Sailing from Monck's Bay since 1891, Christchurch Yacht Club is one of the oldest clubs in the country.
CYC has access to the water at all states of the 
tide and enjoys sailing areas both on the Estuary and over the bar into
Sumner Bay.
New members and families are always welcome, with learn-to-sail and junior coaching programmes available throughout the season.

A survey of recreational users of the Avon-Heathcote Estuary/Ihutai
The Avon-Heathcote Estuary/Ihutai Trust and Environment Canterbury have funded a summer research scholarship for post graduate student Michelle Marquet at Lincoln University. The project looks at the following:
- What recreational users of the Avon-Heathcote Estuary/Ihutai know about microbiological water pollution and where this information comes from;
- What factors influence their decisions about microbiological water quality to undertake recreational activity and;
- To what extent do these users utilise information on this issue provided by the regional council.
Your participation in this project would involve filling out a short online survey and would be greatly appreciated. For further information and to complete the survey go to: http://www.lincoln.ac.nz/waterquality
Thank you for your help
Regards,
Michelle
