There’s maybe no better way to start the week, especially in a very stormy and wet Cape Town, than with a good long read of Club News – jam-packed with lot’s of great news from yesteryear.

The feature opens with brief announcement from RCYC as follows: “Just before going to press we received news of the results of the ocean race organised by the Cruising Association of South Africa and Royal Cape Yacht Club. The course was from Table Bay to Gansbaai, off Hermanus, and then to Saldanha Bay. Noteworthy was the outstanding success of the Royal Cape One-Design.”

Other features are:
• Dawn Passet on the Highveld
• Springs Regatta
• Glendee Yacht Club
• Bianca Goes Snap-shooting
• Durban Doings
• Island Sailing Club
• Multihull Club
• Cruising Rotarians
• PYC Cadet Week
