If you’re looking for info on how to cross the Manuaku Bar safely, your first step should be the FREE seminar we’re holding on Wednesday 5 July, from 7pm. Experienced Coastguard volunteers/tutors will give you advice and tips specific to crossing the treacherous Manukau Bar. While the evening won't fully equip boaties lacking the experience to tackle a bar crossing, this information is vital for those currently undertaking crossings or considering it.

When:  7:00 pm Wed 5 July. Approx finish will be 8:30 pm
Where: Auckland Marine Rescue Centre, 3 Solent Street, Mechanics Bay. Google map link here.
Cost :     Free entry – donations welcome of course!
What:    3 Speakers will discuss the key fundamentals boaties need to understand before they consider crossing a bar:

•    Why they are dangerous
•    What should you consider before planning a trip
•    What sort of equipment should you have on the boat
•    What steps should you take to keep your vessel and crew safe
•    Communication protocols including lodging the vital Bar Crossing report with Coastguard
•    Local area knowledge such as channels and leads

To book your space, simply complete the registration form here.
