MAC 24-Hour Endurance Challenge – Great News

Some Blue, some White and now some Red 

These will be the predominant sail colours gracing the waters of the Milnerton Aquatic club in Tableview, Cape Town on the 16th and 17th of March 2002.

The organising committee of the 5th MAC 24-Hour Endurance Dinghy Challenge is very proud to announce an exciting new addition to the upcoming 2002 event: The Mirror Class

Over the past four years, the three "Jack Holt" classes (Enterprise, GP14 and Bosun) have always enticed great fun, competition and team-spirit, and it would be so appropriate to introduce another very popular "Jack Holt" design to this unique annual event.

The four dinghy categories will be competing for individual class records and trophies as well as overall honors based on the Portsmouth Handicap System.

As 2002 will be the Mirror Class debut year for the 24 Hour Endurance Race, a new World distance target will obviously be established and without doubt this will issue an irresistible challenge for future record breaking attempts.
