The 2018 Eastern cape Dinghy Provincial Championships were not without drama on the two days of scheduled sailing for 25 and 26 August 2018.
Presented by South African Sailing East Cape, sponsored by Renewable Energy Company Rubicon SA and run by volunteers from the Algoa Bay Yacht Club the first (and only) day of sailing saw three races sailed in a sharply increasing west wind that soon topped 30 knots whilst sailors scurried for safe haven in the Port of Port Elizabeth.
The squall kept rescue boats and the NSRI busy ensuring that all returned to Port safe and sound.

A total of three races were sailed – one for the Junior and two for the Senior fleet.
Not enough to qualify as a regatta as Sunday was blown out as well.
