GIZA Challenge Update
ABYC Week, become Isuzu Challenge, then ABYC Week, then this year we had a number of incarnations; 'The Spirit of Giza Regatta', 'Giza Technologies ABYC Week' and finally 'GIZA CHALLENGE'. Be that as it may, the 1st to th 4th of May will be full of great sailing fun, highs and lows as we take part in the GIZA Challenge. The CHALLENGE now is to get the moorings empty on every single day of our long weekend. I remember the days when the moorings at ABYC were 80% empty every day that we sailed ABYC week. It is time that we put a little effort back into our sailing and completely emptied the moorings for the GIZA Challenge. So far we can confirm: The Pacer 27 Class is confirmed. The Sadlers are almost confirmed as a class. A Melges 24 will make it's appearance. We have enough boats for an IRC Class. Subsidised / Free Entertainment and meals have been organised for every night. The opening will be held on Wednesday night 30 April Registration will take place on 27 April and Wednesday 30 April. A photographer has been employed to take photographs which will be distributed to each boat. Supersport will be filming the event. Danny will organise a helicopter for the photographers and film crew. T-Shirts, plaques and prizes will be given away. For an entry fee of R350.00 the photographs are worth the cost - you cannot lose. WE NEED YOUR PARTICIPATION - it is not only about racing but about the JOY of sailing and taking part in ABYC's premier regatta. Make our sponsors, GIZA, proud and let us see EMPTY moorings on each day of sailing. Full Story »
