Can’t you see we’re racing?

Team "Hollard Jacana" (David Munro/Patrick Holloway/Neil Gregory) were the overall winners of the Class 1 Division in the 2019 Fling Regatta, the first amateur team to win in 5 years.

Team "Hollard Jacana" on Wednesday 5 December 2018 were crowned the Lufthansa Twilight Series winners of Class A Spinnaker Class.

The series comprised 8 races sailed in Table Bay during October, November and December 2018.

Lufthansa annually sponsor two series of 8 races, one series from October to December and one from January to March.

In the last 5 years, the crew have won 6 out of the last 10 Lufthansa Twilight series, with 4 second places overall in Class A.

The Hollard Jacana Yacht Racing Team featured on national television last night when a documentary on the Mykonos Offshore Regatta was run on SuperSport.

"Hollard Jacana" finished 2nd overall in Class A and 2nd Overall at the event loosing only to Yacht Phoenix (TP52).

The performance in the Mykonos Offshore Regatta follows a number of other outstanding results recently by the team in other important events, this has put us in a good position to defend our Royal Cape Yacht Club Championships Title.

Other recent results by the team, include:

1st Overall in the RISKAfrica Regatta 2017 (20/21 Oct 2017). Congratulations to the second Hollard team of the event, yacht "Hollard Corum", crewed almost entirely by previously disadvantaged sailors, who finished 2nd Overall.

Lufthansa Twilight Series (8 races -Oct - Dec 2017) - 1st Overall Class A Spinnaker fleet (for the third year in a row)

Novamarine West Coast Offshore 2017 (26/27 Nov 2017, 400kms - Table Bay > Elands Bay > Saldanha Bay) - 2nd Class A, 2nd Overall

Harken Round Robben Island Race (15 Jan 2018) - 1st Class A, 1st Overall.

These results all count towards the Royal Cape Yacht Club Championships.

No yacht has won the RCYC Class A Club Championships twice, except team Hollard, who are aiming to win this year's championships for an unprecedented 5th year in a row. The recent results place the team a single point ahead of "Windpower" owned by Phil Gutsche and skippered by Rick Nankin at this stage of the racing season.

We look forward to a competitive end of season and the team are working hard to achieve another impressive performance this year.

Special thanks as always to Hollard for their continued support.
