Ponsonby Cruising Club
 It hosts sailing and racing for keelboats, classic yachts, mullet boats, and has a sailing school.

This is a Mullet fish which are spawning this time of year
A species of northern waters ranging south to Cook Strait and adjacent South Island coasts, it is not now so abundant as formerly.
It regularly runs up rivers, sometimes for many miles, into purely fresh water, feeding there on fine waterweed and on minute animals in soft mud. It is similar to the yelloweye mullet but is stouter, has a broader and more rounded snout, and a thick fleshy surround which covers all but the pupil of the eye. Its colour is a silvery grey, with a brownish flush on freshwater examples
