From First Up, 5:32 am on 3 September 2020

A Wellington yacht club which has been around for more than a hundred years is worried it will no longer be able to operate races in the harbour, if Kiwirail get their wish for a new ferry terminal. Wellington's Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club has been sailing out of Wellington's harbour for 137 years. Situated in Oriental Bay, the club runs yacht races year round, mostly in the inner harbour. It's commodore, Pedro Morgan, told our reporter Catherine Hutton what impact the new rail ferries will have in such a small space.
