In a uniquely South African story of hope and courage, six young people will make history by participating in the iconic Cape2Rio yacht race as the first complete crew from marginalised communities to do so.

The sailors, hailing from Masiphumelele, Khayelitsha, Grassy Park and Athlone in Cape Town, have been trained by the Royal Cape Yacht Club (RCYC) Sailing Academy and are sponsored by Alexforbes.

Their yacht, the Alexforbes ArchAngel, leaves Cape Town for Rio on 2 January 2023, the crew comprises skipper Sibusiso Sizatu (30), first mate Daniel Agulhas (29), Renaldo Tshepo Mohale (29), Thando Mntambo (23), Azile Arosi (22) and Justin Peters (21).

Alexforbes would be honoured if you would join them at the opening of the sailing season - invite below.

On Saturday, 15 October, the RCYC members commemorate the official opening of the sailing season for 2023.

As Alexforbes is sponsoring the RCYC Academy sailing team's participation in the Cape2Rio yacht race, we have the privilege of celebrating this milestone together with the club members and our very own ArchAngel team.

We will be joining in the festivities, which include the ceremonial commemoration, a sail through the V&A Waterfront, ArchAngel team 'meet & greet', live entertainment and much more!

Date: Saturday, 15 October 2022
Time: 12:00 until late
Dress: 'Spirit of Africa' theme / casual (please wear flat shoes)
