CLUB RACING
This Sunday there will be organized racing at Zeekoevlei with a round of the Autumn Series being sailed starting at 10h30.
Talk and Q&A about Sailing on the ISAF World Cup and Olympic circuits
We are lucky to have visiting 470 sailors in Cape Town at the moment and they will be talking at IYC this Saturday about their experiences of regatta’s overseas.

TRIATHLON -Bone of Contention
Start training now for the ZVYC Triathlon on Sunday 15th March. Three Legs: running, cycling and rowing/sailing. You can be a one man team doing all 3 disciplines; or form a team with a single person for each leg! We will even accept entries for single legs. We hear the Commodore is entering a family team. A handicap system based on experience and age will be incorporated.
THE MDM SERIES

MDM SERIES ROUND 1 SUNDAY 22nd March
MDM SERIES ROUND 2 SUNDAY 19th APRIL
This year we have come up with some novel changes and the proposed series will consist of
1st WEEKEND STARTERS CUP RACES (many short races to a windward mark only).
2nd WEEKEND SLALOM RACING’S (short beat and run zigzag through at least 4 or more buoys in line).
This racing is weather dependent and the weekends may still be swapped.
Just to prove there is such a thing “AS A FREE LUNCH” all competitors will be given a FREE lunch voucher to the value of R50.00 on each of the race days.
Many thanks to Hylton Morris of MDM SERVICES
