50 Lasers on the first day of racing!  The Lasers certainly ‘invaded’ the vlei on Saturday.  Thanks to all the sailors who accepted the clubs invitation to sail the two races on the first day.  Thank you very much to Central Boating who not only generously agreed to continue sponsoring our club championships but also [...]

The Regatta started with everyone rushing to the club after school and work on Friday afternoon to make the start on time. With a few general recalls and OCSs the regatta started in a moderate NW wind. Saturday was a breeze with between 15 and 20 knots! Many people got stuck in the mud and [...]

With 2 races, 64 boats and 84 sailors, the DNG Interiors sponsored regatta was a great success.  The first race (a class pursuit race) started with almost no wind and the different classes starting a few minutes apart. The race was shortened after 1 lap due to the lack of wind.  The race was won [...]

The forecast all week was for fresh to strong southerly winds.  On [...]

Take a look at Craig Leslie’s photos from the Voegel Vlei Points regatta here.

The forecast was for about 6 to 8 knots of southerly breeze to fill in from around 11 in the morning. Well that was pretty much what happened. The very efficient [...]
