This year, the Royal Cape Yacht Club is celebrating their 100th anniversary of the Lipton Challenge Cup. History has it that Sir Thomas Lipton presented the shiny, silver Lipton Cup to the Table Bay Yacht Club in 1909. This yacht club later became the Royal Yacht Club, and with a bit of heritage behind it, this annual Lipton Challenge has become a renowned, prestigious event - this year boasting with 31 entries.
The event will take place from the 22nd to the 29th of August at the Royal Cape Yacht Club in Cape Town. Each yacht club may enter a single unit, and the Wilde Fruit Juice Crew will be representing the Gordon's Bay Yacht Club at this year's Lipton Challenge Cup.
