With roughly 3-5 sailors in each team the turnout wasn’t bad – and the event was far more manageable (and enjoyable…) than the 24 hour variety – so hopefully we’ll see a even stronger turnout next year.

Below are a couple of photos from the day, you can also see some by Craig Leslie here.

The event differs little from the club’s popular 24 hour race and runs from 6.30am to 6.3pm on Saturday the 19th of September.

So far we have two teams entering: Thomas van der Ploeg and myself are sailing with a couple of non-class members, in an effort to convert them, and Ian Macrobert, Markus Progli and Stephen du Toit are entering as Team Intasure.

It would be great to see a strong Extra contingent at the event. Take a look at the event webpage for more information and get in touch with the committee to let us know if you are sailing or are looking for a team to sail in.
