Jeff MercerThe Wanaka Yacht Club is booming like never before. Club commodore Jeff Mercer said the numbers were "astounding" for the size of the town. Earlier this year the club released plans for a new $1.5 million to $2 million facility at its site on the shore of Lake Wanaka. The club will begin resource consent proceedings for the proposed two-storey 558sq m building once it has secured funding. Club member and Queenstown Lakes district councillor Quentin Smith said the new building was the priority for the club.
