bla... bla... bla...!!

Oppie Nationals

Which KZN Oppies are going to be top dogs at the Nationals - you have home water advantage so use this weekends Grand Prix to get the edge.

Here is a pic of the very first RSA Oppie Nationals sailed in 1972 on Midmar!

KZN Grand Prix Series is hotting up !

KZN GP series 1 is done and dusted! Two days of perfect sailing conditions at Island Sailing Club.

"Maestro" McNiel showed his experience gained from having been to Worlds. Click here to see the results of GP1.

GP2 is just around the corner. 31 Oct and 1 Nov....... Whow, that's close!

Get your boats ready.....!! Get up to Midmar.....!! Remember, that Nationals will also be held at Midmar in December, and this GP2 will give our KZN kids a good preparation for Nationals!

Rumour has it that the "Maestro" is moving on to a 4.7....... This opens the top spot of the GP series for any one. Hey "Maestro"....., think again!
