Da Gama Dam was filled with a kaleidoscope of colourful sails as the Forest Sailing Club’s members took on the challenges of the GP Regatta on Friday and Saturday, August 9 and 10.
Keelers, catamarans and monohulls competed in the pre-final races on Friday and the finals on Saturday.
Pre-placed buoys set out the course across the dam that the boats had to navigate.
