Why
sail at Bronks? |
I
sail at Bronks because - it's too far to go
to Cape Town every weekend. It doesn't help
waiting for every December holiday to go sailing
again. By sailing at Bronks, I can maintain
some currency in the sport. Every time I sail,
I learn more and reinforce in my own mind
as to why I really enjoy this sport. I get
to talk rubbish with my sailing buddies -
it's all a form of release and a good way
to de-stress from the humdrum of 9 to 5 work
life. |
My
idea of perfect Sailing conditions / Kit: |
20
knots, 25 degree azure blue water, speed strip
for gybing, chop at one end for interest -
Dahab - never been there but it looks good....
6 sq.m sail and 100 liter freeride board blasting
along at 30 knots ! |
