The 1000 Hills Sailing Club will be hosting the 2nd Annual Jes Foord Regatta at Inanda Dam on 15 September 2012, to raise funds for The Jes Foord Foundation. The race is open to smaller yachts, including Hobie 14s, Halcats, Monohulls, Hobie 16’s and Darts.

Last year, 25 boats entered and this year the race organisers are hoping to double that. Besides raising funds, the 1000 Hills Sailing Club is hoping to raise awareness about sailing, as well as the beauty of Inanda Dam. They are hoping that through the regatta, more and more sailors will be encouraged to sail more often at the dam.
The day will consist of three races, with the first race starting at 10h30, weather and wind permitting. Skippers are required to have registered before 09h30, briefing is at 10h00.
People are encouraged to come along, bring their families and enjoy a day of fun and sailing. Braais are provided, along with salads, so people can bring along their meat and join us for the lunchtime braai.
Prize giving will take place at 15h30, and there are plenty of prizes and giveaways to be had.
The day promises to be a lot of fun for the whole family, and a great opportunity for all those sailors to haul out their boats, get on the water and sail for a good cause.
Price for entry is R300 for double and R200 for singles, including entry into the lucky draw, with plenty of prizes to give away.
