Algoa Bay Yacht Club closed for now
Algoa Bay Yacht Club is in a bad state after the hurricane about 2 weeks ago.
Please guys, this is serious - they are still receiving yachts from clubs who have not informed their members that ABYC is closed. There are no moorings and they have to raft against fishing boats. These boats start fishing next week and there will be chaos. Please bypass ABYC to either St Francis or East London who have really lovely moorings/clubs.
Your co-operation in this matter is greatly appreciated.
Regards, Dee
