Sailing Magazine

There is very little “newspaper news from yesteryear” of any major consequence in my archives, so having come across this cutting during my search, I have chosen this very short picture caption piece for good reason.
Cherry McIvor is a great follower of this blog who has followed my scribblings for years. I met her “way back when” during the first-ever Intervarsity Regatta at Midmar in 1976 (I think!). She is an avid sailor, both dinghy and keelboat, and before emigrating to New Zealand was a force to be reckoned with in Algoa Bay.
Thanks for your on-going support Cherry.
The caption to the photo goes as follows:
AHOY THERE … Algoa Bay Yacht Club vice-commodore Cherry McIvor is calling on Port Elizabeth landlubbers and would-be yachties to join in the fun in this year’s sailing season, which opens on November 2. About 50 yachts are expected to take part in what promises to be a spectacular affair.
