BEFORE the sailing season unwinds for a brief Christmas break, the Durban yachting community will gather in the Islander Room at Point Yacht Club for a fine festive spread on Saturday, 6 December.
While feasting on a delicious two-course meal, diners will be entertained by the illustrious sounds of the Durban City Orchestra.
The orchestra’s programme entails two halves where they will be playing light popular Christmas tunes and some jazzed up ones.
Commodore for the Point Yacht Club, Trevor Donald said, “The essence of Christmas means family and the Durban yachties are mostly one big extended family. What better than to spend time together off the water with our extended family and their loved ones.”
“I am told that Father Christmas will be taking time out from all the preparations up in the North Pole to recharge on a bit of Vitamin Sea and will be gracing us with his presence,” he added.
The menu also caters for vegetarians, but for the carnivorous, offers a main of traditional roast gammon with pineapple glaze and slow roasted brined turkey with orange butter marinade served with roasted baby veggies, parisian potatoes and gravy. The sweet deal to end of the meal is a choice of Christmas trifle, chocolate mousse, fruit salad or ice-cream and chocolate sauce.
Tables seat a maximum of 10 people. The cost of the lunch is R130 each, children under 12 pay R90 and visitors pay R160 and R120 respectively. There is a dress code of smart casual and booking is essential. Seating begins at 11.30am with lunch being served at noon.
