Izivungu

The Navy festival regatta is the biggest development regatta in the country. The event attracted entrants from Hout Bay, Zeekoevlei and Saldanah, however as usual it was the local students from Izivunguvungu MSC Foundation for Youth who took the top positions on their home waters.

Izivunguvungu, who in 2007, restored the famous Voortrekker yacht, has successfully achieved a iconic achievement in the History of Offshore sailing. Voortrekker formally associated, in the old South Africa, with the sailing legends Bertie Reed and John Martin, was this time sailed by a fully development crew. The whole crew (Including skippers and watchcaptains) has originated and been trained by Izivunvuvungu MSC Foundation, they successfully completed the Cape to Salvador yacht race.

Two Izivunguvungu sailors, Wandisile Xayimpi and Renoldo Mohale competed in Cowes week and were on the team that came 8th in the Laser SB3 Class on City of Cape Town
