NR Provincials
Great to see the “gees” back with sailors and parents after the lockdown in Gauteng and seeing everybody on the water. Great to see newcomers young and older participating in the provincials. Thanks to everyone that is putting a huge effort in to increase our Oppie fleet. With your effort and commitment I am sure in no time we will reach our goals.
