Personal message

The MAC 24 hour race is a 24 hour sailing race held at Milnerton Aquatic Club Cape Town on 12th March 2016.

Boats are manned by teams of 10 young people who’ve been training for the event, some are beginners and some are very experienced racers. This is an endurance event with the youth team sailing the boat:

  • non stop for 24 hours
  • through the nightin shifts
  • with 2 people sailing at a time
  • the rest of the team sleeping or cheering on their team mates!

Last year the team managed 59 laps with a stop for thick fog, this year we’re planning to smash this.  At the same time we’re raising money for Africa Tikkun a youth charity in Cape Town, helping disadvantaged children in South Africa with education and development programmes. 

We’re going to smash our lap record, help us smash our fundraising target too! 

Want to keep updated on this project? Take a look at our MAC Youth Sailing Facebook page.

Afrika Tikkun

Charity Default Logo

Afrika Tikkun (AT) was founded in 1994 with the goal of developing and uplifting young people in disadvantaged communities resident in the Republic of South Africa. With like-minded partners, Afrika Tikkun aims to end child poverty and youth unemployment through a holistic approach that begins in early childhood and ends with productive adults accessing the economy. Our approach provides all-inclusive care (nutrition, health and social) services and helps SA’s youth achieve success with a model called Cradle-to-Career 360°, which has earned Afrika Tikkun recognition for being one of the most impactful organisations in South Africa. We operate from four centres in Gauteng and one in Cape Town.
