Exciting New Home for Taupo’s Model Sailboat Group at Prawn Park!
Saturday mornings have just got more exciting, Huka Prawn Park is excited to host a brand new location for Taupo’s model sailboat group for their weekly meet-ups! We couldn’t be more thrilled to be supporting this fantastic group of hobbyists for their favourite pastime.
It is always a pleasure to welcome and support our local community, and we have been absolutely loving seeing their friendly, yet competitive, spirit that they bring each week. Whether you are a seasoned sailor or someone just starting to dip their toes into the world of model sailboats, the energy is always positive, fun, and welcoming.
A Friendly Competition with a Splash of Fun
The group have been sailing their miniature boats around the Taupo area for some time, and now they have found their new racing ground here at Huka Prawn Park. After spending time with the group the key factors that really make it unique is the blend of friendly competition and camaraderie they all show towards each other. It’s not just about who crosses the finish line first, it’s about the precision and keen eye for reading the wind, chatting with fellow enthusiasts, and learning new things along the way. But don’t get us wrong, these can be a competitive bunch when it calls for it.
Watching the boats glide across the water, their sails catching the wind just right, you can see the passion of the group members. Many of the group have been sailing for years, while others have just started their journey into this wonderful hobby. Some of our staff have also had the chance to try their hand at sailing model boats, seeing just how fun and relaxing this hobby can be.
Join in the Fun!
Sounds like something for you? The group meet at Huka Prawn Park every Saturday at 10am, and whether you are an experienced sailor or just wanting to give it a go, you are always welcome to join in the fun.
Why not bring your family down for the day? Take the time to enjoy your time sailing the ponds while the kids play and enjoy our Fun Park then why not end your trip at our Riverside Restaurant.
We are so happy to be hosting these amazing locals and cannot wait to see what the future holds for the group at Huka Prawn Park.
