You can see pictures from the container packing exercise in the gallery. Just once again wanted to thank Peter for all the effort in arranging the container and shipping, a massive task. I also think we should get him to sing Madonna, "Like a Virgin" at the worlds with his nice little reflector vest ;-) See the photo!
With the boats shipped sailing training will be difficult, but concentrated fitness training will continue in the winter months, while everyone else is watching the Soccer World Cup over June-July.
5 boats were loaded and the container should return with 3 second hand boats destined for Durban, Cape Town and Knysna, to further grow the fleets there.
The 5 South African teams competing in the 2010 Denmark Worlds are:
RSA 8481 - "GUS", Thomas and Peter Funke.
RSA 8445 - "BRT", Kyle Klaas and Robert von Gruenewaldt.
RSA 8520 - "Geelslang", Rudolph and Ferdinand Holm.
RSA 8707 - "Aitsa". Albrecht Holm and Willem Buhrmann.
RSA 8471 - "Fish Eagle", Warwick and Alexander Ham
You can follow the South African Teams progress on the event website at http://www.505worlds2010.com/
Each boat will be fitted with a GPS device enabling real time monitoring of their actual position, speed and direction during each race. This will enable those at home to follow the racing in real time and keep up to date with the results. Regular race reports will also appear on the RSA website.

We wish them all luck and happy sailing.
