Sailors again this year hoisted the sails, caught the wind, and chased glory at the annual Bridge and Back Regatta (race) on the waters of Witbank Dam.

Witbank Yacht and Aquatic Club (WYAC) was once again host to this highlight on the calendar over the weekend of September 9 and 10.

The race was not only about competition but also about community and camaraderie among the 15 sailors who set off from the WYAC clubhouse to the bridge near Duvha Power Station and back again.

This was also an opportunity for sailors to showcase their skills, test their abilities, and share their passion for sailing with others.

Dries Pretorius from Boskop Yacht Club won the catamaran section as well as the line honours.

The keelboat winners were Steven Matthews and Craig Hay.
