Local sailors would not be disadvantaged by renewed interim funding of the Team New Zealand America's Cup programme.
The team, which lost the recent America's Cup duel with Team USA Oracle in San Francisco 9-8 after leading 8-1, is to get $5 million interim funding from central government until next March.
Lake Rotorua Yacht Club commodore Robin Parr said the club was not affected by the funding going towards Team New Zealand.
"It all comes out of a different bucket. Yacht clubs around the country received funding from Yachting New Zealand which received grants from Sparc.
"The funding for Team New Zealand comes from another bucket," he said.
