Our 5 new Optimists finally arrived from China and have been unpacked and loaded onto the new trailer we purchased. We urge members to deal with SAS through their Class Chairs as these sort of threats to SAS put these programs at risk and the project may be cancelled or passed onto another class in future. We have heard from SAS that an appeal has been put in around the selection process with the threat of taking the matter to Department of Culture and Sport and\or World Sailing.

The team will depart on 08 August 2017 and return on 18 August 2017. With the financial support of DCAS, our Western Cape Optimist sailors will benefit on so many levels experiencing a different culture, creating new life long sailing friendships, enjoying different sailing conditions and learning new skills. In terms of SAS’s tripartite agreement with Dept of Cultural Affairs & Sport (DCAS) as well as The Sports Bureau of Shandong Province, SA Sailing WC is proud to announce Team Western Cape 2017. TEAM WESTERN CAPE will be participating in the 9th Qingdao International Sailing Week / Qingdao International Marine Festival 2017. Please visit this link and indicate if you agree or disagree with the changes. The Dabchick and Laser Classes have also lodged objections. We believe the Youth Nationals Organizing Committee should have consulted with the various classes before making this change. We all know that people will want to get home and no one will stay for the Team Racing and have expressed our objection to the change. The traditional racing from Monday to Friday with Team Racing and a lay day on the Wednesday has been changed to racing from Monday to Thursday with no lay day and Team Racing on the Friday. The EXCO of the Optimist Sailing SA have expressed their objection to the format and dates for the upcoming Youth Nationals in December to be held at Midmar. Good luck to all our sailors attending these two events!Īll of the photos from the evening can be found here. A big thanks to Fabrizio Fruet and Cal Tomlinson for putting this together as well as Claire Walker, Dylan Long and Roger Hudson for the coaching. It was great to have the up country sailors fly down and join the training. Much training has been taking place at Granger Bay and Langebaan in preparation for this event. Regular information and news will be posted on our official Optimist website and our Facebook page throughout both events.
