17th SAFYC Regatta Dinghy & Optimist The weather was not in our favour on the first day of our 17th SAFYC Regatta Dinghy on Saturday, 17 April. The sky opened and rain started pouring from morning till late afternoon. No race was conducted for this day and our sailors had to go back on shore after the lightning warning signal was activated. The race committee held their post until afternoon trying to see if the weather will be better but the sky did not clear up, hence sailors were notified that there will be no race held as to ensure their safety. The second day of the race on Sunday, 18 April welcomed everyone with a bright sun and the best winds! Everyone was excited to finally race and the anticipation was intense with everyone’s “race face” on! The dinghy classes who participated were Laser Standard & Radial, Laser 4.7 and the newcomer, the 29er class! Everyone had their own sailing styles and strategies to try and win the races.

Each class completed 4 races and the regatta ended late in the afternoon. To prevent the formation of crowd outside the seasports office, results were posted at our website for everyone to refer to. We had to forego the awarding ceremony as well to ensure that there will be no forming of large groups after the races.
