Thank You Zululand Yacht Club. 21/11/2024

Zululand Yacht Club has been home to the World ARC fleet over the last week. It is with huge thanks to the Adminitration Team, Committee and Members of the club who have worked so hard to ensure the fleet’s stay has been full of entertainment, good food and lots of laughter. There has been an exciting programme of events enjoyed to the full. Day 1 began early with an enthusiastic number of participants taking part in the Richards Bay 5k Park Run through the local forest.
