What a National Championship to remember!
The weekend delivered some of the closest and most intense racing we've seen, combined with an exceptionally well-organized event. Every team left it all on the water, making for a truly unforgettable championship.
🔥 M19 – Robbie Louw & Brandon Langeveld
M19 put in a fantastic performance, securing 3rd place in both Circuit Heats, which earned the team an impressive 5th Overall in the Circuit Event. They continued their strong form in the 100km Long Haul, bringing home a well-deserved 3rd Place finish.
🔥 527 – Johan Smith & Nicolene Smith
Team 527 fought hard throughout the weekend, securing 6th Place in Circuit Heat 1. During Heat 2, while pushing the limits in pursuit of a stronger finish, Co-Pilot Nicolene Smith was unfortunately catapulted from the boat. Thankfully, she was able to walk away from the incident. Despite the setback, the team showed incredible determination, finishing 8th Overall in the Circuit Event and claiming a respectable 6th Place in the Long Haul.
These results are a testament to the dedication, teamwork, and commitment shown by both crews throughout the season.
