The 2018 Coastal Classic is just around the corner and we're anticipating a great Cruising Rally Division with an impressive 17-strong fleet. 

36 Degrees Brokers are running a photo contest which encourages participants of the rally to capture their journey from Auckland to the Bay of Islands, whether it's anchored up along the way enjoying the sunset, watching dolphins play while sailing, or just simply documenting the happy crew enjoying the serenity. 

From leaving the Waitemata Harbour to sailing along the Tutukaka Coast and watching the infamous Cape Brett emerge on the horizon – there's some breathtaking scenery to enjoy throughout an ever changing view. 

We will have a prize for the best story captured in a picture, which will be awarded to a boat in the Cruising Rally division prior to the official prizegiving in an informal meet and greet in Russell from 6pm. More info on this will be sent directly to participants of the Cruising Rally. 

You can choose to:

• Email your photos to hana@36degrees.nz or via text on 0212842662

• Send via Facebook Messenger to 36 Degrees Brokers

• Upload to Instagram with the hashtags #CoastalCruisers2018 and #piccoastalclassic

A selection of the best photos will also feature in a Boating NZ Magazine special planned for December - showcasing the beauty of our coastline and the trip from Auckland to the Bay of Islands.
