The Tauranga Yacht and Powerboat Club (TYPBC) has a long history as one of the oldest sailing clubs in New Zealand. Founded in 1920, it was the home club of yacht designer Harry Highet.

The New Zealand National Register of P-class yachts is maintained by TYPBC and held and managed securely in TidyStock. P-class yachts need a certificate of origin proving their current and historical ownership to enable their owner to compete in annual yacht races. Those certificates are printed directly from TidyStock as a customised report.

The Tauranga Yacht and Powerboat Club (TYPBC) has a long history as one of the oldest sailing clubs in New Zealand. Founded in 1920, it was the home club of yacht designer Harry Highet; his Tauranga class yacht is today known as the P-class and has grown in popularity from its Tauranga base since 1924. The P-class yacht is a small single sail dinghy, a training boat for young people in New Zealand and famous for being the sailing trainer vessel for entrants into the sport of sailing. Many of the winners of the national P-Class regattas have gone on to win major international sailing events from Olympic Gold to the Americas Cup. Competitions are held annually; virtually every famous New Zealand yachtsman, including Sir Peter Blake, Chris Dickson and Russell Coutts, began their sailing career in P-class yachts. Four members of the 2016 NZ Olympic sailing team, including Gold medal winner Peter Burling and Bronze medal winner Sam Meech, are members of Tauranga’s TYPBC.
