“It is a huge privilege to be a part of such an amazing Global Event. We have to thank Worldsport, the Cape Town Organisers, for giving Rietvallei Estate this opportunity.
Although few of us in South Africa have been exposed to sailing of this magnitude, I am sure we can only imagine what these people go through every day. The gruelling and tough conditions of the ocean push them to the limits, emotionally and physically.
We hope they will relax with some Rietvallei Estate Wine during there stay in Cape Town and we wish all the Teams the best of luck with the Race when it continues from Cape Town,” says Marketing Manager, Colyn Truter.
