Sailors gearing up for annual MSC Week
Umdloti sailor Wayne Smith will be competing in the multihull class and will be sure to make his competition work hard.
Sailors are eagerly rigging their boats and checking Windguru as they get ready to compete in this year’s MSC Week hosted by Point Yacht Club offshore Durban from July 1-5.
Following this year’s slogan of Live, Love, Sail, the aquatic athletes look forward to a fair regatta in a variety of competitive classes, namely the L26 Nationals, J22 and ORC Regionals and an Open Class for Keelers and Multihulls.
The early bird entry list is looking impressively competitive with 24 boats registered already and another 20 showing keen interest.
Umdloti sailor Wayne Smith will be competing in the multihull class and will be sure to make his competition work hard.
The skipper of Crazy Diamond will be using this time on the water ahead of the Wind Surfing World Championship in Italy mid July.
Ahead of the action and as a warm up, sailors will have a gentle amble around the bay on Sunday, June 30 in the afternoon in the Commodore’s Cup Race.
Race Officer Dave Rushton will set a variety of courses allowing boats to either stretch their legs on a few long hauls or test their skills on a few short bursts around the cans.
Rushton will fire the first signal daily at 10.55 and get racing underway at 11am.
