Boskop Yacht Club Yacht Club joins the 2025 Lipton Cup Challenge!
We are pleased to welcome Boskop Yacht Club as a first-time entry in the Lipton Cup — proudly stepping onto the national stage from their stunning home waters in the North West Province.
This milestone marks an exciting chapter for Boskop, and as part of their entry, we are honoured to share the following message from Mike Robinson, President of South African Sailing and helm of the Boskop entry:
“This entry celebrates the alignment of three exciting moments. Boskop Yacht Club has never before entered the Lipton Cup, but with the club now entering a vibrant growth phase, it is important that we see ourselves as an active and equal part of South Africa’s competitive sailing community. This challenge aims to inspire our new members by proving that Boskop’s halcyon days are far from over — and that from our beautiful enclave in the North West, anything is still possible.”
“It was a bold and visionary move by the Trustees of the Lipton Cup to adopt the J22 class — a decision that makes the Challenge truly accessible to clubs across the country. Boskop supports this inclusive approach wholeheartedly, and this entry is our way of putting our money where our mouth is.”
“South African Sailing has long championed inclusivity in the sport. Boskop Yacht Club’s decision to appoint the President of SA Sailing to helm the team gives the organisation a unique opportunity to tangibly express its support for this dynamic, forward-looking, and inclusive Lipton Cup Challenge.”
Welcome, Boskop Yacht Club — we’re thrilled to have you join the fleet for the very first time!
