Centennial Seniors Sailing Race Over 50 yachts entered, with most of the competing skippers in the 60 to 70 year of age category. There were over 15 competitors in the 70 to 80 age group and 1 competitor in the over 90+ age group! This Pursuit Race was sailed in a pleasant South West wind of about 10 knots. The first yacht away was the Buccaneer of D. Johnson at 14h30 and the last was the Rachel & Pugh Windsong sailed by Gerhard Koper at 15h01. The overall winner was the Benetau 47 sailed by Dave Abromowitz which carved her way through the fleet to win by a couple of minutes. 2nd boat UkuZwana sailed by C du Toit and 3rd Windsong. The handicapping of Dave Smith was excellent but he felt the racing could have been even closer if the wind had not become lighter than expected. Back at the Club the competitors enjoyed a free meal whilst prizes were handed out to every skipper. The other Trophy winners were Hein Skipper 90+ group, Molly Warr 80+ group, Geoff Myburgh 70+ group. The Event was the 1st Race of the Club's Centennial Year Celebrations
