Royal Natal Yacht Club
Hobie 16 KZN Provincials
Durban: Thursday 16 - 19 June
Royal Natal Yacht Club’s Trio Regatta concluded in glorious sunshine
offshore of Durban where sailors from around the country were tested with a
variety of conditions over the four day regatta.
Luke Wagner and his team on PYC Element were crowned KZN champions in the L26
class and Mark Wijtenburg and Vernon Brown were bestowed the KZN champions of
the Hobie 16s.
The race officer took a liking to the windward leeward course and consistently
set challenging distances for both the Hobie 16s and the L26 yachts depending on
the winds. Both classes were battling it out for KZN Provincial Championship
honours.
Nine races were completed in total over the regatta. A variety of conditions
were dished up with winds as gentle as 8knots, causing the tacticians to work
hard and then the gutsy sailors dealt with gusts that reached 30knots creating
some heavy seas.
The Hobie 16s KZN Provincial Championships had competitors from around the
country take to the warm waters. Nine races were sailed with a windward leeward
course with a wide range of conditions that had something for everyone.
Local stalwart Sean Fennessy said, “There was no one dominating team in the
event. It was nicely spread with six winners overall and all the teams had to
work with some really hard sailing happening offshore.”
Vaal sailors Mark Wijtenburg and Vernon Brown relished in the good coastal
conditions which was very challenging for the dam sailors. They were closely
followed on the leader board by father and daughter team, Mike Goodyer and his
ten year old daughter Stephanie Goodyer, also from the Vaal area. The fearless
lass faced surf that was taller than her, loved being out on the water with her
father on Father’s Day.
Fennessy and Victoria Marshall waved the flag for Durban with a hard earned
bronze medal. They scored a first place and second place on the last day,
working their way back up the field.
