BRYC are putting a lot of effort into promoting the East London to Port Elizabeth Yacht Race starting on Saturday the 12th April 2008 at around 10:00 a.m.

The race this year is once again sponsored by Intelegence Telecoms and is being billed as a feeder race for ABYC week.

I notice too that BRYC have got their web site up and running and the details for this race can be found HERE.

Anyone looking for crew to sail? Let me know and I will ask in the e-mails and in the lead up to the race.

EDIT: Some news from Ian Williams:

Tenacity, a Caribea 30, sailed down Single Handed last week in a practice run and did 21 hours. On handicap I think that would be pretty good so she is dead keen.

I will enter single handed if there are a few more entries.

Are there many single handed sailors in Port Elizabeth? This could be a great opportunity for them to try their hands at a blue water race, albeit a race that takes around 24 hours.

East London holds the honours for last years race, does anyone in Port Elizabeth feel that they could take this away from us? I challenge them to try. Crewed or single handed.

Eds Note: Fighting words and the gloves are off.
