:: 505 KZN Provincials - Richards Bay :: (623 Reads)

The 505 class were kindly hosted by Zululand Yacht Club for their KZN provincials together with the catamarans on the long weekend 9-12 Aug 2007. Unfortunately only 4 boats arrived, all from Gauteng, so the regatta could not count as a provincial, but the weather and sailing conditions at ZYC made up for that. Next year we would like to see more Natal and maybe even some Cape boats there.
The ZYC really made us feel at home and we were treated to a great camping venue, a well organised event and some fantastic sailing conditions which we would rate as some of the best in the country. Where else can you sail 12-25 knots of breeze with a 2-3m swell and a 25degC water temperature in August, in shorts and a splash vest. Where else in the world are you welcomed back on the beach after the last days racing by the Commodore, dishing out glasses of OBS?

This is a fantastic place to sail! Find Results Here
