Support the Victron Energy/ 9 Miles Project Optimist dinghy in The Great Optimist Race and help us make it first across the finishing line and onto the Fundraising Leader board.
9 Miles Project is a registered non-profit organisation founded in Cape Town in 2013. The project works with youth in informal coastal settlements and provides mentorship and support to at-risk youth in Cape Town, Elands Bay, and St Francis Bay.
With Headquarters at Strandfontein Pavilion, Cape Town, the project is a haven and refuge for youth who have very few positive role models in their lives.
This year the optimist will be skippered by Big Wave Surfer - Matt Bromley.

The Great Optimist Race 2022 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.
