PREPARING to host a national event in June, there was plenty of activity at the Zululand Yacht Club on Sunday afternoon as the young guns got in some hard practice.
There were 13 boats on the water, comprising four classes: Dart 18, Hobie Teddy, Halcat and a Gypsy.
With a strong wind in their sails, the day provided a valuable training opportunity under guidance from seasoned ZYC members.
