Dinghy & Cat Regatta
Zeekoei Vlei YC are hosting THE regatta of Western Cape Sailing in the new sailing season, and the opening one, too – The Southern Charter Spring Open on 27 & 28 September, and have already ordered beautiful sunny weather and perfect sailing winds. We are already hard at work organising the only truly open regatta and also the only hometown interclub regatta for Capetown sailors.
The Southern Charter Spring Open promises to be BIG – and be a fantastic combination of great, competitive sailing and great fun. We have Doug Alison as our Race Officer and are expecting a record fleet. After sailing on the Saturday there is fantastic food and entertainmemt (including us watching the Boks thrash the Aussies on the rugby field) and free camping or sleeping downstairs at the club. We trust you have already put the dates in your diary..
We have a great evening at the club this past Wednesday where sailors from the different classes put forward so many great ideas on the sailing for the weekend. Thanks to all those who attended and gave their input.
The NOR, Entry Form and Poster are going out later today – so watch your inboxes and enter online!
