As a proud mum of Seb Menzies, who began his sailing journey at Murrays Bay Sailing Club, Tara has seen firsthand the incredible opportunities this club provides for young sailors. It’s where confidence, independence, and lifelong friendships are built - both on and off the water. Sailing teaches so much more than just handling a boat. It builds independence, responsibility, and confidence - qualities that serve our children well in every aspect of life.
Tara also understands the ongoing challenge of fundraising to keep the club thriving - every contribution truly makes a difference.
That’s why Tara is incredibly proud to support the club as sponsor of the Learn to Sail program, helping ensure future generations can experience the same sense of community and adventure. Keep an eye out for the Bayleys Learn to Sail fleet!
If you’re considering selling, Tara would love to assist - and through the club referral programme, she’ll donate a portion of the sale back to the club to continue supporting our young sailors.
As a fellow parent in the wider Murrays Bay community, I appreciate how lucky we are to have such amazing local schools in our area. With both our children now having attended Murrays Bay Primary, Murrays Bay Intermediate and Rangitoto College I am very happy to continue my support of where it all starts at Murrays Bay School.
The wider Murrays Bay community has been good for my business and I want to give something back.
Ask me about how we can promote your home through the school, and I'll also donate a portion from the sale.
