Those who competed in major events organised by the Royal Cape Yacht Club in days of yore will remember The A-Team – a band of old salts who liked nothing better than to be at the yacht club as the backroom boys doing whatever needed to be done to make the event memorable and smooth-running.
They did anything and everything from shipping to sourcing supplies, long-life bread, tools, artisans and much more. Fun-loving, efficient, organised and always up for a laugh, they were The A-Team.
Their story, written by Charles Paice, is shared today, and while relatively short, it’s a great read and shows how much enjoyment one can get when giving back to the sport they were all so passionate about.
SHARE it, COMMENT on it and simply enjoy it.
