SAS Request for Proposal – National Team Sailing League
Have you submitted your input yet which is due at the end of January? This includes provision of some 30 boats to be distributed among the provinces.
“South African Sailing (SAS) intends to launch a National Team Sailing League with regional representation in the Northern Region, KwaZulu-Natal Region, the Eastern Cape Region and the Western Cape Region.
It is intended that this initiative increase the number of active participants in the sport by removing some of the barriers to participation, reducing the historically required time commitment and injecting a fresh approach to competition and event execution.”
