2016 KYC Inter-club Regatta

22 March 2016

The KYC Interclub Regatta was very well attended by sailors from RYC, MBYC, GLYC and Zeekoeivlei YC. ABYC lacked sufficient numbers unfortunately, so strengthened the RYC burgee. These sailors are full members of both of the yacht clubs and it certainly illustrates our unity for the development of sailing in our region. The winds were light and erratic, with tides have a strong influence. The senior fleet was large and strong. Sigi Bailes reported on the success of the following ABYC sailors: Hobie Fleet (11 Boats) 3rd - Andrew & Angela Ward - Hobie 16 5th - Andrew & Ashley . . .

There will be sailing school at 10h00 on Saturday, 28 February. The weather looks good and we hope to see you all out on the water. We have received good news on the state of the river at Redhouse (See: Good News for Redhouse). This is also excellent news for sailors wanting to compete in the inter schools on the weekend of 7 and 8 March. Please give me an indication who will be entering in the inter schools. We will still have sailing for the sailors not going to Redhouse. There will be an interruption in the sailing school from 15 March to after Easter due to the 5o5 Worlds being held . . .
