The Cape to Rio yacht race has, since inception in 1971, always attracted its fair share of young school-going crew members. It’s a great race across what many refer to as “the nursery slopes”, so is safe and full of adventure. Schools have in the past entered teams with a parent or teacher, and Westerford High school was no different as can be read in todays report.
The next race starts on 17 December 2025 – so start planning and preparing now.
