Yachting New Zealand recently launched the Clean Club program, a world-leading initiative for yachting and boating clubs to help protect coastlines, oceans and waterways around the country.
A key aim of the program is to help and encourage clubs to become more environmentally focused. A three-star rating system based on best-practice criteria will recognise the environmental efforts of clubs.
“We’re really excited about the Clean Club programme,” says Yachting New Zealand Chief Executive, David Abercrombie. “Sailors often talk about the ocean being their office or playground, which is why it’s so important for every yachtie and boatie to do a better job of looking after what we have. Knowing where to start is often the hardest part, which is why we’ve researched and developed these easy-to-follow guidelines on how to become a Clean Club. It really simplifies everything and helps take clubs through the journey, and we want to acknowledge and celebrate their achievements along the way by calling them a Clean Club.”
The program has been endorsed by leading ocean conservation organisation Sailors for the Sea. Yachting New Zealand has also partnered with the New Zealand SailGP Team to help raise awareness of the program and encourage local clubs to embrace sustainability. “It’s great to see Yachting New Zealand leading the charge for national sailing bodies worldwide and providing a practical framework for clubs to get involved with,” says Peter Burling, New Zealand SailGP Team co-CEO. “We’re really looking forward to engaging with the clubs who get their Clean Club certification and hope we can learn from them too.”

A family-friendly club focused on providing educational, recreational and competitive sailing & water-sports opportunities for all in the Nelson and Tasman districts.
We have programmes for beginners through to advanced coaching, and from 8 years, through to adults. Options range from weekly after-school sessions, holiday programmes, to weekend adult courses and private tuition.
Windsurfing isn’t just a sport, it is a lifestyle. Windsurfers live and breath it – once you’ve cracked it and got planing (blasting across the water at high speed) you won’t look back.
Wingfoiling is taking the watersports world by storm. With a dedicated brand “Wingfoil Nelson” we’re building the community here at Nelson Yacht Club, looking after everything from lessons to gear sales and advice.
Members are what makes a club, and we’ve got a great bunch! There are many ways to get involved – from being part of training courses, club racing, volunteering, committees and working bees etc… and of course, there’s always time for a drink and a yarn after sailing.
We have club racing most Saturdays throughout the season, with a mixture of handicap racing, scratch class racing, and special/feature races. There’s also a popular casual twilight racing series on Tuesday evenings. We have the annual Whakatu Regatta, and host regional, national, and international regattas.
Book your next function in the club’s Aurora Lounge. It is an excellent space, offering unrivalled views over the harbour to the Cut. The lounge can be booked for anything from smaller meetings through to conferences and of course parties and weddings!
In April 2023 we were proud to receive 2 Star recognition under the Yachting New Zealand Clean Club Programme.

To be represented by Premium Yachts, Ferretti Yachts and Riva , two prestigious brands of the Ferretti Group, will be present at the Moscow International Boat Show 2013, displaying motor yacht Ferretti 530 as well as Riva Iseo yacht tender.
Luxury motor yacht Ferretti 530
Luxury yacht Ferretti 530 was very keen to undertake in collaboration once again with AYT – Advanced Yacht Technology, Ferretti Group Engineering Division and Studio Zuccon International Project . The compact dimensions, 16 meters long and almost 5 meters wide, allow the 530 yacht to deliver grand Italian luxury and cruising immersed in such comfort until now unheard of in a yacht of this size.
Ferretti 530 yacht boasts three revolutionary innovations: the full beam master cabin with chaise longue and two large open view windows that make it a real suite at sea level bathed in light, tones and the natural essences of teak. Moving the galley from the center to the aft section creates a unique open space that includes the saloon, galley, cocktail bar and the dining area, the cockpit area continues thanks to the tilting window. The roll bar free sky lounge and the spoiler allow the 530 a sporty appearance combined with elegantly formal lines.
Ferretti 530 Yacht - Interior
Riva , the iconic Ferretti Group brand, presented a new model at the historical Lake d’Iseo shipyards in July 2011. Featuring elegance and ease of transportation as its distinctive characteristics, Iseo superyacht tender , a 27 foot runabout, is destined to become a must-have for those who love cruising on both lakes and the sea, and, most importantly, design enthusiasts. It is also perfect for anyone wishing to enhance their yacht with an exclusive tender that will never go unnoticed.
Riva Iseo superyacht tender
Due to its ease of manoeuvrability and size, Iseo yacht tender is also ideal as a tender for large yachts. Innovative and elegant, it can also guarantee comfort in bad weather conditions. Besides the electrohydraulic bimini top, it was also designed with a waterproof, automobile-style soft top which protects those on board against water and the wind during cruising.

The club, which has been operating in Moscow from the very start, and was closed for four years, has recently re-opened. This institution does not need any special promotion, and it is content with its popularity only among “select” circles, being famous for its “imports”, shows, animations, and of course, great music.
These are large dark premises with a “loft” style interior, where iron reinforcement bars and brick walls blend gracefully with velvet “baroque” style armchairs and a cozy fireplace – welcome to the Gazgolder – the Mecca of the capital’s “anti-glamour”.
Kurskaya Subway Station, 5 Nizhny Susalny Lane, bldg. 1 (entrance from Kazakova St.). You will find the building next to the Kruzhka Bar, go to the end and knock on the closed door that has no sign on it. Be prepared that they will ask you your name, or you will be asked to show an SMS with a special invitation to the party.
Owner of the club
Socialite Anna Antimony
Club’s target group
This institution is intended for “club life” old-timers, who were there at the beginning of the Moscow “rave” movement. This club is not intended for dating, being visited only by people who want to relax and “taste” quality “techno”. The ages of visitors range from 20 to 50.
“Selective techno” and its variations: progressive, trance, etc. You will not hear recognizable compositions in the style of David Guetta, as the music, for the most part, is without vocal accompaniment.
Parties are held no more than once every one to two months.
How to get into the club
You have to be on the “list”. The day before, or on the very day, the lucky person gets a message with a special invitation.
Average bill
From 1500 rubles. The prices “don’t bite”, as this is a non-profit institution, exclusively friendly in nature. Credit cards are accepted.
What to wear
Club visitors dress in extremely simple attire. Heels and dinner clothes are not welcome.
Troyka Multi Space
( https://www.facebook.com/TROYKA.MULTISPACE )
This is one of the most beautiful clubs, located in a mansion in the center of Moscow, and named in honor of the “Moscow residence registration” – Building 3 on Yauzskaya Street.
1/15 Yauzskaya St., bldg. 3
You will surely notice the gate, surrounded by a crowd of people and lots of parked cars from the side of Yauzskaya St.
The club has three floors. The first of them is occupied by a cloakroom and welcome-zone. There is a dance floor and a stage on the second floor, with a second dance-floor located on the third floor. There is no restaurant as such.
Two investors, who own several mansions in Moscow, opened this still fully non-profit club.
Recently, the club has become more “massive”, which certainly increases your chances of getting inside. The age group is 25–30 and older.
Great techno music, combined with foreign techno-star “imports”.
The club holds exactly 12 parties each year. It is best to arrive at 11 p.m. and to stay until 3 a.m.
You can learn about an event via SMS messages or through the club’s group in social networks. In addition, you can submit a request and obtain a special code on the club’s webpage, after mentioning a name of a person who can recommend you. You should know that, after the receipt of a recommendation, the administration of the club will study your profile on Facebook, before making a “final verdict”.
You should not come here hungry, as you will not be able to order a meal in this club; there simply is no food on the menu. You will have to snack only on a berry or fruit salad. The average bill ranges from 1500 to 5000 rubles. Credit cards are not accepted.
There is no dress code. You may come dressed in anything that feels comfortable.
Vanilla Ninja
( https://www.facebook.com/VanillaNinjaClub )
Do not get scared when you enter these dark 100% techno-oriented premises... You will soon feel the mood of the club, as the main funds are invested into DJ's and performers. The club has been operating for more than 5 years, and in that time has already “moved” to a new location, without losing any of its regular clientele.
Krasnopresnenskaya Subway Station, 15 Rochdelskaya St.
One of the owners is Seva Shcherbakov, a very public figure and founder of more than a dozen commercial clubs in Moscow.
Fans of techno.
You are the right place to hear all variations on the theme of “progressive” and “trans” music.
There are two club days: Thursdays, for those who are in no hurry to get to work and are free to spend their time as they wish, and Fridays. You can keep track of the DJ “imports” on the club’s official page on Facebook. One week in advance, the club sends an SMS with an announcement of events. It is worth noting this club’s partnership relations with the Troyka Club – The Vanilla Ninja is closed during parties at the Troyka.
Admission is only by lists, club cards or if one of the club promoters is a personal acquaintance. You can try entering through a private group on Facebook.
Credit cards are accepted. The average bill is 2000 rubles.
It is advisable to be dressed in the street style of “ghetto-gothic” or “street-gothic” – black color, layering and asymmetrical cuts.
Monasterio
( https://www.facebook.com/pages/Monasterio )
This is the newest club, which entices fans of Arma. You will feel as if you just dropped into the Moscow Berghaim (Berlin), the most famous freak disco, which is famous for its “frivolous” parties, unusual music, relaxed and incoherent clientele.
15/12a Krasnopresnenskaya Subway Station, Tryokhgornaya Manufaktura. Behind the Jagger Club.
Russian investors, former DJs
Fans of “techno”, “tech house” and “minimal techno” music styles.
Monasterio perhaps has the most high quality and expensive sound equipment. DJs from the most famous clubs of Germany, Spain, etc., play here. However, be prepared also for the “hard” music – “progressive” changing into “trans”.
It is best come at about 4 o'clock in the morning, considering this club as an “after party”.
Unlike all the previous clubs, you can get into this club by paying 500 rubles for admission, and after passing a strict “face control” process, which is not typical for the Moscow club scene, with its “free admission” policies.
You can get a bite to eat in this club, with the food being of very good quality. Credit cards are accepted.
You may wear what you like, but it is best to dress in black.
Petrovich Club-Restaurant
( www.club-petrovich.ru )
Are you tired of fashionable glamour? Do you yearn for something real, something “Soviet”? Then a place with a 15-year history awaits you, with its traditions and stunning cuisine – Olivier salad, “dressed herring”, pies, khrenovuha, salo, and of course, vodka in faceted glasses!
24/3 Miasnitskaya St.
One of the owners of the club is the cartoonist Andrey Bilzho.
This club is intended for anyone who wants to relax and feel “at home”, for fans of “eat–drink–have fun” in good quality company. Besides this, you can always find the capital’s big names here – bankers, media people, senior managers, politicians, and journalists – all of these are longtime fans of the Petrovich.
The motto of this institution is “Merry and Noisy”. There are evenings of jazz, guitar and even piano. Every Saturday there are dances to music by ABBA, Boni M and Soviet songs.
The schedule is kept up to date on the club's website – disco of the 90s, and live music every day. The club is open until 5 a.m.
Admission is strictly by club cards. You can get a card through a friend's recommendation or by filling in a form and providing a photo directly at the club.
You must try everything on the menu – without exception! Book your table in advance, especially on weekends. The average bill is 1500–2000 rubles.
Wear what feels comfortable for a relaxing evening and for dancing. Hipsters and glamorous socialites you certainly will not meet here.
