We are always keen to assist new sailors in joining the Idle Along fleet.
If you are looking to buy or sell, we keep some notes on this page: Boats for sale and wanted but recommend that you also keep a watch on Trademe.co.nz
If you are interested in building an IA, we recommend that you email the Association on IdleAlongNZ@gmail.com and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
Once you get serious, you may like to talk to the Auckland Co-President, Gary Matthews an experienced boat builder who has built most of the race winning IAs in the current fleet. IA Association members will also be happy to help you with rigging and tuning issues.
Class Rules are available here. Plans and guidelines on tuning are available here.
The 1951 and 1960 versions of IA plans can be downloaded from the Alexander Turnbull Library here: http://ndhadeliver.natlib.govt.nz/delivery/DeliveryManagerServlet?dps_pid=IE31483738&dps_custom_att_1=emu. Full size versions can be purchased from the library.
