MAC 24 Hour Challenge at Milnerton Aquatic Club, Cape Town, South Africaby Mark Algra 4 Apr 10:25 BST24 hour sailors put to the test in light conditions24 teams started the MAC 24 Hour Challenge at noon on Saturday 28th March 2026, at Milnerton Aquatic Club, Cape Town, South Africa. This is the 27th 24 Hour hosted at MAC. The two Mirror dinghies from Saldanha enjoyed their MAC 24 and the team spirit from their supporters on shore was something to witness - singing and cheering when their team completed laps. The 24 hour had periods of very light wind conditions - crew positioning in the boat was critical, too much weight aft and the transom drags and slows the boat down. A Durbanville Sailor - John "Guppy" Visser sailed the full 24 Hour in a Saldanha dinghy - and was rewarded with the Endurance trophy.
