Celebrating Our Members: RNZYS Pin Presentation Honours Years of Dedication

The Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron recently honoured some of our longest-serving and most dedicated members in a special Pin Presentation, recognising milestone years of membership and service to our club.

Vice Commodore Matt Cole welcomed members and their families, acknowledging the decades of commitment that have helped shape the Squadron’s rich tradition and community. Commodore David Blakey, unable to attend in person, sent his warmest regards, sharing his appreciation for the contributions of our longstanding members to one of the world’s leading yacht clubs.

We were delighted to have Trustees, Past Commodores, Life Members, volunteers, and staff in attendance, creating a morning of shared stories and connection as we reflected on the many years these members have been part of our Squadron family.
