NZ Sailing Trust

Established in 2008, the NZ Sailing Trust ensures that key yachts from history including Lion and Steinlager2 are available for young New Zealanders to experience sailing and learn about New Zealand’s significant sailing history to ensure the future of New Zealand’s maritime industry.
