Torbay Sailing Club is aligned with the Sir Peter Blake Trust's focus on leadership, but maintain a vision and commitment that great sailors make great leaders. We feel that being in touch with the environment through sailing, installs a true respect for it, and a passion for its preservation.

From these fundamental principles, the Torbay Sailing Club is committed to the preservation of the values and principles that Sir Peter gave to New Zealand, both in terms of national identity, and especially to its youth, through fair but hard, competition in sport....

Its not how big you are - its how big your dreams are 
Omayra Leeflang - Minister of Sports and Education OptiNam 2008, Curacao 

These words are from the opening of the North American Optimist National Champs in Curacao in July 2008. So simple yet so appropriate. When you go out to sail, do you dream of maybe one day representing your club, or maybe your country, at a regatta?
