Personal message

Support the Combustion Technology/ CANSA – Kevan Wright Optimist dinghy in The Great Optimist Race and help us make it first across the finishing line and onto the Fundraising Leader board.

Kevan is a part of the Little Optimist story. As a cancer warrior, he sailed to raise awareness for cancer. He is an inspiration to many and a friend of The Little Optimist for life.

Proudly backed by Grant Renecle and Combustion Technology, his memory and teachings will live on in his Little Optimist Boat.

He will continue to raise funds, educate and inspire through The Little Optimist Academy. His little boat, supported by his wife, Vanessa, friends, and family, will continue to race and do good.
