Dabchicks never die
2 Dabbies have been bought from a sailing school at Hartebeespoort Dam and have been relocated to Ebenezeer Dan yacht club in the Mountains near Tzaneen. After painting and refurbishment they should be launched very soon.I am hoping that other sailors who see these boats may also badger their parents for one.
We have received a request for plans from New Zealand where ex South Africans wish to build Dabbies for their childeren.
Mark Dingley in Australia is in the process of getting ready to build and both Cor Langhout and myself have rounded up second hand sails for them.
In NorthVaal I am aware of at least 3 new dabbie sailors who have acquired boats for the new season.
This always great news and we need to welcome everyone, show them ropes and encourage more to join our fraternity.
