Local waters. Trusted hands.
Kia ora — I’m Tom. I launched Four Winds Sailing to share Golden Bay under sail: private skippered and bareboat charters on Bright Sparx, and vessel deliveries for boat owners who need a capable hand.
Whether I’m on your deck or mine, you get the same calm, personal approach — weather-honest, safety-first, and tuned to what you actually want from the day.
