Royal Natal Yacht Club
Kite Flying Competition and Christmas Eve Lunch
Wednesday 24 December
Celebrating Christmas in a colourful fashion, sailors
from the Royal Natal Yacht Club invite members of the public to come and
fly high with them at their second Kite Flying Competition on Christmas Eve.
Back by popular demand, the second kite flying
competition commences at low tide on the sandbank in front of the yacht club
lawns. At the inaugural event, over twenty kites were sent up with the
experienced sailors having to negotiate winds in a different fashion to keep
their kite a drift.
There were a number of fun competitions, including the
person who could send their kite up the highest, the person who was able to
keep their kite up the longest and also who could land their kite in target
accuracy into a few hula hoops laid out in various spots.
Low tide will allow interested kite flyers to start flying kites from 09:30 and
when the tide starts coming in, should conclude by 12.30. This will then flow
into everyone being able to enjoy a hearty Christmas Eve lunch.
Rear Commodore for the yacht club, Rob Samways grinned,
“The first session we had was so well received, we had kids in gum boats coming
and flying kites, seasoned sailors all enjoying the gentle breeze. It turned
out to be such a fantastic, colourful family event that we have brought it back
because of all the requests we have been getting.”
Continuing, he said, “What better way to bring in the
festive season than spending time outdoors. Kite flying will commence
early and then the club will be putting on a Christmas Eve lunch.”
