Re: KZN Schools Regatta

I agree that it is a very sad day for KZN youth sailing when there are no Dabchicks at the Inter Schools regatta. But what is further disturbing me is the 14 entries in the Optimist class.

This regatta used to be bigger than the provincial regatta for both these classes and I think that this lack of entries must be a very big concern to the yachting administrators in KZN. If there is no youth coming through then the nursery of future yachtsmen is in serious danger of collapsing.

To see the turnout of Lasers is very encouraging, that class must be doing something right.
