Zim Report 15th July: Mohamed Raouf Ben Naceur (Tunisia 85) and Milly Bennett (Australia 444) - African Optimist Championship - RSA Optimist Team The Optimist fleet managed to get three races in yesterday, 15 July and it is now official, as they have sailed the required minimum of five races. The fleet sailed in challenging conditions on the South Side of the harbour, again approximately 2.5 nautical miles off shore. The winds varied from 15 to 18 knots South West with big swells. A number of breakages necessitated sailors retiring before the rest of the tired fleet of Optimist sailors returned at 4:00 pm., grateful for the assistance of the Magic Sailing School in retrieving their boats. For supper last night was sheep on the spit followed by a disco afterwards. At the African Countries meeting last night it was confirmed that Kilifi, Kenya will host the 2010 African Championships in July next year and that Tunisia will host the 2011 African Optimist Championships in September that year. The jury were kept on the hop, honest and justified their daily bread as they had to hear four protests after yesterday's sailing. Optimist Africans 2009 - Richards Bay, South Africa Sailed:10, Discards:1, To count:9, Entries:49, Scoring system:Appendix A Results are final as of 17:30 on July 18, 2009
