History
One afternoon in August 1956, 19 interested people gathered for a meeting in the boardroom of United Business Directories, publishers of the Sea Spray magazine. The meeting was chaired by John Mallitte, and it was agreed that a club to be known as the Outboard Boating Club of New Zealand be formed along the lines of the OBC in America, including the constitution, its officers and their duties. The discussion and planning led to a public meeting held in the Auckland Sunday School Hall and was attended by around 70 boating enthusiasts. This was the inaugural meeting of the OBC of New Zealand.
