Royal Natal Yacht Club
Ladies Twilight Race
Durban Harbour: Wednesday 13 February
Predominately, sailing is considered to be a masculine
dominated sport but the proactive yacht club, the Royal Natal Yacht Club
honours its’ fairer members with the fun annual Ladies Twilight Race on
Wednesday 13 February.
The traditional Wednesday night sailing is the midweek
social race where sailors from around the world congregate at their clubs to
enjoy the summer evenings out on the water. All crews participating in this
special event will consist mainly of ladies where they will try their hand at
calling the shots on the boats as well as crewing.
Gently coaxing the crafts around, the harbour will be filled
with lady drivers as they dice the other yachts for the title. “The Royal
Natal Yacht Club is blessed to have a number of competitive ladies who sail
regularly in both the cruising and racing classes. Our Honorary Commodore,
Willy Vandeverre’s accomplished crew is mainly made up of ladies nicknamed the
‘Goblet Gals’.” noted the Rear Commodore for the club, Phil Downing.
Following in the great footsteps of Dame Ellen MacArthur
and Jessica Watson, Durban’s female sailors take to the waters in the upcoming
Ladies Twilight Race hosted by the Royal Natal Yacht Club on Wednesday
13 February.
