The inaugural Redhouse Yacht Club 24 Hour Sailing Challenge was sailed from 12h00 on 31 October to 12h00 on 1 November 2015. Seven sailing teams and one rowing team entered.
These images are from the first half hour – look out for the Buffalo River Yacht Club team rigging their boats – apparently one of the Sprogs had a BOOMslang hiding in the boom when it was collected in East London.
The 24 Hour Challenge was sailed in the shadow of the iconic Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on the North End Lake out of the Eastern Province Power Boat Club clubhouse.
