A reminder that Wednesday Evening sailing series is underway. Predicted weather is 12kts SW and dropping, sunny and cool. Skippers at 17h00. If the race proceeds, there will be boerie rolls for the first 40 sailors; with a free Castle dumpie for first-time sailors and for the skippers that host them. We encourage you to use these short mid-week sails to introduce new people to sailing, especially friends and colleagues of colour. Even if you don’t want to participate in the race, we hope to see you casting off this Wednesday.
