Yachting New Zealand is recognised by World Sailing[2] as the governing body for the sport of sailing in New Zealand. Yachting New Zealand also facilitates training in sailing in and around the country.[3]
The emigration of Robert Logan (Senior) with the skills he had learnt boatbuilding on the Clyde encouraged the adoption of frameless diagonally planked two and three-skinned yachts in New Zealand. When combined with the use of the locally grown kauri Agathis australis the resulting hulls were extraordinarily long-lived, being highly resistant to rot and damage.
Logan's firm and his son's Archibald Logan, Robert Logan (Junior) and John Logan's own separate boatbuilding firm of Logan Brothers together with the Bailey boatbuilding family were to dominant yacht building in New Zealand from 1880 to the 1930s.
New Zealand teams have a history in the Americas Cup and it was the strong showing of the 12 metreKZ7 nicknamed the "plastic fantastic" with a young team led by Chris Dickson that brought global recognition. Team New Zealand continued the tradition, both challenging for and winning the Americas Cup.
The marine industry is strong; high-profile builders include Boat Speed International.
