TYC and ELYC Brass Bells – YouTube

5 March 2016

Find out why Yacht Club Brass Bells are being liberated from their home waters here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/957002044320866/ The Facebook group exists to share information on the travels of Sailing Club Brass Bells that have been 'liberated' by competitive sailors who have sailed at or to the club (target) that loses it's bell. Long may the fun go on. The rules are simple - if you 'liberate' a bell it's journeys MUST be posted here and it MUST return to it's club in a better condition than it left in. The ONLY way in which you can reclaim your bell is to send a sailing team to take . . .

RM 890

11 June 2014

New cruising 29.2 foot monohull. Impressive volume, 180° visibility. Plywood epoxy for rigidity, performance and environmental friendliness. Partitions laminated directly onto the hull for lightness and rigidity. The hull of RM 890 welcomes two configurations: Twin-keels/one rudder to reduce the draft and lay the boat easily One-keel/two-rudders for maximum performance At today's date expect to pay 81 000 Euros direct from the shipyard http://youtu.be/X9UHp973T2g Shared by: Alan Straton Click here to see the Sailing Videos shared by members AND/OR Click here to submit . . .

ABYC Seal

24 May 2014

This very calm seal popped into the Algoa Bay Yacht Club to say hello on Saturday evening 24 May 2014. Apologies about the light. She lay on the side of the slipway, chilling and listening to the music - as she appeared in distress, the Sailing Commodore phoned our local Bayworld who will check on her in the morning. According to Bayworld these seals are not used to people so do not run away or recognise two legged beasts as potentially threatening. Still - I am not going to get much closer in case she gets a little angry with all the attention. http://youtu.be/BgayeSJNBkw Shared . . .

Take a Sail With Me – ABYC Week 2014 Race 4

9 May 2014

GoPro time lapse from the 4th and final race sailed on Wild Thing (Russel Morgan) in ABYC Week 1 to 4 May 2014. The Algoa Bay Yacht Club's annual prestige regatta was sailed in Port Elizabeth, South Africa in very light conditions and produced a first in that not one race was sailed over the entire course. Four races were shortened and two abandoned as the fleet struggled in extremely light conditions - http://abyc.co.za/another-first-for-abyc/ In this recording you will see a bit of argy bargy towards the 12 second mark as Wild Thing starboards Orion (Kerry Bonnage) who starboards . . .
