An Enterprise Dinghy, CV6, lost its mast mid-race, while a Gypsy Dinghy crewed by the Plumstead Sea Scouts snapped its centreboard. Numerous other teams were forced to carry out running repairs to stay in the race. But the spirit of the event remained undeterred.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This is exactly what the MAC 24-Hour Challenge is all about &#8211; teamwork, endurance, and resilience,&#8221; said Mark Algra. &#8220;It&#8217;s not just about who sails the furthest, but how you get there. Watching these teams pull together under pressure was incredible.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-it-began\">How it began\n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The race began under light north-westerly winds that made for a flawless start. Sonnet Dinghies quickly led the pack, followed by Enterprise, Bosun, 420s, and the 16-foot Saldanha dinghies from various Sea Scout groups. As the sun set, conditions began to shift. Winds dropped significantly in the evening, demanding careful helming, until a light southeasterly picked up around 03:00. By the midnight finish on Sunday, winds had increased to a robust 25 knots, propelling boats across the course in dramatic fashion.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;By 07:00, boats were literally flying &#8211; especially the Saldanha Dinghies, pushing up big bow waves,&#8221; said Algra.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A 12-Hour Challenge ran alongside the main event, with five teams entering, including a Windsurfer and a solo Illusion micro keelboat. The 12-Hour teams completed their sessions from 07:00 to 19:00 on Saturday, resuming again at 07:00 Sunday morning.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-race-results\">Race results\n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>12-Hour Challenge:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022MAC Relay Team \u2013 Windsurfer;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022Team Kia Paarl \u2013 Illusion;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022Team CV6 \u2013 Enterprise Dinghy;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-24-hour-challenge\">24-Hour Challenge:\n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022Plumstead Sea Scouts \u2013 &#8220;Sea Queen&#8221; (Saldanha);\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022Zeekoevlei Sailing Club \u2013 Sonnet;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022MAC \u2013 &#8220;Team Naleidi Reloaded&#8221; \u2013 Sonnet;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022UCT Yacht Club \u2013 Sonnet;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022Sea King \u2013 Saldanha;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022Team Defence Sailing \u2013 Bosun Dinghy.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now in its 26th edition, the MAC 24-Hour Challenge is South Africa&#8217;s version of the long-running event hosted annually at West Lancashire Yacht Club in Southport, UK.
