The 60th 5O5 World Championships went a long way to showcasing Port Elizabeth, Algoa Bay and ABYC as a superb venue for World Championship events and the accolades are still coming in.
Most recently the 2015 World Champion, Mike Holt, sent ABYC a handwritten letter – which is displayed on the notice board:
To The Commodore & Members
I wanted to write to you all to thank you personally for your friendliness, helpfulness and all round great job in running the 5O5 Worlds.
Carl and I had a fantastic time both afloat and ashore and the YC’s part in that was huge. From the moment we arrived until we left we could not have been better looked after.
I know that all the sailors shared my views and also had a great time and will return to their homes with stories that will ensure that it will not be long until we return!
Thanks again
Mike Holt
On behalf of the Friendly City of Port Elizabeth and the Friendliest Yacht Club in the World may I say; “Thank You, Dankie, Enkosi and come back soon for a hug, Mike!”
