6 of the boats sailing in the Nationals were ready to practice in the provincials on 1st - 2nd May - Orion, Skippered by Mark Sadler, Jump 'n Jive, Skippered by Dale Kushner, Mini Billy, Skippered by Peter Hill, Baby J, skippered by Markus Progli, Greenlight, skippered by Dave Hudson, and and Jendes, skippered by Manuel Mendes. 30-40 knots was gusting in the bay on Sat 1st, making racing not possible, and giving competitors a chance to catch up on more boat work. Race Officer John Spillhaus managed to get in 5 good races in around 20 knots on Sunday 2nd. Exciting Racing! The pics show it all... Congratulations on Mark Sadler, Simon Eatwell and Gerrie Hegie for taking 1st place, Markus and Crew for 2nd and Dale and crew for 3rd.

It is with great sadness ISAF reports that Geoffrey Myburgh (RSA), a pioneer in international youth sailing and an ISAF International Judge, Committee member and Silver Medal recipient, has died aged 81.

We would like to have a really good fleet so are calling for all J22 owners to come forward with their boats and all J22 sailors to sail!
