Southern Charter Classic at HYC!
Good luck to all sailors partaking this weekend at HYC! Safe travels and fair winds.
Good Luck to our ARC team heading to the Harvest Regatta 2017 on Saturday in Elgin! Keep watching to see the results!
LAST WEEKEND
MDM Sponsored Slalom Series event. Unfortunately after much setting of courses & re-setting of courses the MDM Sponsored Slalom
event was abandoned due to very light wind coming from all directions and not making up its mind. Optimist Beginners & Intermediates had brilliantly light winds to try master the art of sailing. B – fleet Optimists trained & sailed their own course being the only course to get racing done in very light and switchy winds, and the A Fleet was entered into the MDM Series. For images and more on the MDM see our Facebook page: zeekoevleiyachtclub
Thank you Hylton and the MDM / Raymarine team for an overall, very enjoyable day!
