- Ideally, they should have their own oppie. ZVYC do have a limited number we can lend to you if you do not have your own
- If you are chosen for the commercial, you will need to be available for the whole day on 21 and 22 January to shoot the commercial.
- Venue for the commercial shoot has not been confirmed yet
- Fee for the commercial shoot is R 2000 per day per sailor, for those who are chosen
- Please indicate your attendance on the form
The casting will be held this coming Monday 12 January at ZVYC. Boys taking part will need to be rigged and ready to sail, wearing usual sailing clothing, by 11h00 sharp.
