Support the original LITTLE OPTIMIST dinghy in The Great Optimist Race and help us not only make it first across the finishing line, but also onto the Fundraising Leaderboard.
Greg Bertish will be sailing his beloved Optimist which has kept him safe over 200km on the open ocean and which has already helped him to raise over R1.5 million in the last few years.
Greg, our founder and Ambassador, will be raising money for The Little Optimist Trust.

The Great Optimist Race 2019 will be held during the Cape Town International Boat Show, on October 29th. 15 Optimist Children’s dinghies will be raced by adults ( Celebrities, Medical Survivors & Captains of Industry) not only for glory, but also to raise money and awareness for the charity of their choice . The Race will be a FANTASTIC and UNIQUE fundraising event , spreading Optimism and Hope across so many sectors. All the funds raised by each boat will be split between The Little Optimist Trust and the charity supported by that boat.
The event will take place at the V & A Waterfront so come down to support your boat and see who walks away with the coveted trophy.
