The first medium distance race of the 2014/15 Centenary Cup was sailed on 24 September 2014 in rainy and wet conditions which kept the sport boats away from the course and saw three hardcore crews slog it out on a sailing course which took them from a Port of Port Elizabeth Harbour start, starboard around the Lateral Mark at the entrance to the Port of Nqura straight up to the Bellbouy and thence to a Harbour finish.
The race presented a beating challenge of note and was won by what early indications look like a welcome return to form for Rob Smith on Tikalox II. Watch out the rest of the fleet it looks like Rob has found a lot of silver polish and is staking an early claim on prizegiving glory!

The Sailing Committee is heralding the changes in approach with the 2014 Centenary Cup Sailing Instructions.
Hennie Haasbroek and his committee have recognised that many sailors feel uncomfortable with around the cans racing as the Centenary Cup has been in the past so they have introduced a new format – Medium Distance racing/cruising on two days and only one day of round the cans. A format that is surely to find favour with sailors at ABYC.
This season’s Centenary Cup will be sailed on 24, 27 and 28 September 2014. Four races are planned with two being medium distance races and the scheduled time of the warning signal for the first race each day is 11H00. Any change to the sailing instructions will be posted before 10h00 on the day it will take effect.

Who will break the current leaders with only seconds between them, does your boat and crew have what is required to break the wanna-be “hot shots” or the “laid back” “play it again” gang?
