Heroes

South African sailor Mark Sadler was in Cape Town recently to compete in the Cape 31 Invitational Regatta with Team Orion from Hong Kong. Sail + Leisure caught up with him to find out why he’s been hooked on sailing for 36 years and how he manages his career with one foot on the ground and the other on a boat.

It’s that time of the year to be in awe of the incredible heights, jumps and spectacular freeriding by kiteboarders pushing the limits in ever-crazier conditions at the Red Bull King of the Air competition. Sail + Leisure caught up with world-renowned Dutch kiteboarder Ruben Lenten at the 2018 event.

Greg Bertish is well-known for his passion and determination to help and support children who are experiencing tough times in hospital by bringing a little cheer back into their lives. His story is an inspiring one. Greg’s Celebrity Optimist Challenge held at the Cape Town International Boat Show raised funds for the Red Cross Children’s Hospital.
We look at the man behind the mission.

Paul Standbridge, one of the most talented and experienced sailors the UK has ever produced , remains a force to be reckoned with in the international sailing arena. Sail + Leisure chats to this sailing hero.
