Saturday Sailing? Sound Cool?
In addition to my responsibilities to MyPE et al I was recently elected Commodore of ABYC - for those of you who prefer chasing a little white ball with a stick, the position is akin to the Captain of a Golf Club. Did you know that Golf is a game played by people unable to sail? As long time members of the yacht club the Longhair and I pour our efforts into the club and are looking forward to a magnificent 2015 in terms of sailing events - the Vasco Da Gamma Race (from Durban to Port … [Read more...] about Saturday Sailing?

Once again high winds and equipment breakages managed to sort the prepared from the unprepared as, before the start of the first race, 7 boats (4 in Fleet 1 and 3 in Fleet 2) opted for the comfort of the yacht club lawns after limping back or being towed in from the harbour. Once again the … [Read more...] about ABYC Dinghy Regatta – 10 November 2013
