The following report on last weekend's Island Sailing Club Interclub Challenge was sent to us by regatta organiser Villette Pretorius:

"The first of the interclub dinghy challenges was a great success. The weather was absolutely fantastic, with a steady north easterly wind blowing making for perfect sailing conditions. Thanks to all who participated, the support was great, everyone taking the opportunity to practice for the Sterkfontein Interprovincials this weekend. However, it would have been nice to see a bigger variety of dinghies, hopefully next race will see more of you taking up the challenge. Lots of fun on the water, drinks and lunch on the sand bank in the bay made for an even more relaxing afternoon. The Hobie 16's from Point dominated the racing, with Sean Fennesey and Gerrie Pretorius taking first place. In tie 2nd, 3rd and 4th postions respectively was Mike Dixon on his Hobie 14 [nice to see him on the water again], and with Sean Keogh and Eric Mallet having a really good dice over the 2 races giving them even scores overall. The next challenge will be on the 23rd of March - races to start at 12.30 followed by prize giving and a braai back at Island. For more information contact Villette 083 788 4161."
