ITALTILE HELPS GILD AN EPIC EVENING WITH GOLDEN GLOBE RACE WINNER NEUSCHÄFER.
Since we opened our doors over 50 years ago, our imaginations have been fuelled by the courage of barrier-breakers and boundary-pushers; those rare, great trail blazers who elevate our collective human spirit through their fearless exploration and sheer grit. Along the way, we encountered sailor and philanthropist Greg Bertish, a veritable force of nature, and were inspired to support his life’s passion – The Little Optimist Trust – a trust dedicated to the upliftment of vulnerable children, to “keep hope afloat”. Through our work with The Little Optimist, we were honoured to help support an unforgettable evening on the 15 May, in the company of an extraordinary young woman. Read more here:
NEUSCHÄFER CAPTIVATES AUDIENCE WITH EPIC GOLDEN GLOBE RACE JOURNEY.
On Wednesday evening, 15 May, The Little Optimist Sailing Academy set the stage for an unforgettable evening, hosting a captivating talk with Kirsten Neuschäfer, the first woman to win the gruelling Golden Globe Race. Sponsored by a team of champions including Laureus SA, SportenCommun, Jack Black Beer, Dawn Patrol Wines, Wetsuit Warehouse SA, Old Mac Daddy, Tintswalo Atlantic, Ullman Gear, Ullman Sails South Africa, Two Oceans Marine, Italtile SA, Southern Wind and V&A Waterfront, the event celebrated human spirit and the power of the sea.
Neuschäfer's story captivated the audience. She recounted her epic 235-day solo journey around the world, battling unforgiving elements and navigating by the stars. The audience undoubtedly hung on to every word as she described the challenges and triumphs of this historic feat.
This wasn't just about sailing; it was about resilience, resourcefulness, and the unwavering pursuit of a dream. Neuschäfer's tales likely left many feeling inspired to push their own boundaries and chase their personal horizons.
The evening showcased more than Neuschäfer's accomplishment; it highlighted the power of fostering a love for the sea. With the Little Optimist Sailing Academy at the helm, the event underscored the importance of programs that introduce young people to the joys and challenges of sailing. The support of sponsors like Laureus SA, SportenCommun, Jack Black Beer, Dawn Patrol Wines, Wetsuit Warehouse SA, Old Mac Daddy, Tintswalo Atlantic, Ullman Sails South Africa, Two Oceans Marine, Italtile SA, and V&A Waterfront played a vital role in bringing this event to life.
