Sailors Lounge Members Afternoon

23 March 2015

On Sunday 22 March 2015 at 15h00 around 60 ABYC members attended the official opening of the Sailors Lounge for the 60th SAP 5O5 World Championships.

All agreed that the facility and operation are absolutely World Class – something we last saw when the World Cup was here in 2010. The daily debriefing sessions with full analytics and video for 5O5 competitors is something we are all looking forward to.

Access to the lounge will be restricted to sailors and VIP’s from now on, though.

Chatting to the guys from GMR Marketing was a bit of a revelation as, unbidden, they were full of praise for the support and friendliness that they had received from ABYC members as well as the general population in Port Elizabeth.

The club is also looking stunning as the painters do final touch ups.

The hosting of this event is a wonderful opportunity for members to experience world class sailing and one more arrow in the quiver to further cement our city as “The Watersport Capital”.
