2025 91Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ Challenge celebrates successes at awards evening |29 July 2025

And just like that, a week of sun, sea, and sails has drawn to a magnificent close. The 2025 91Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ Challenge has concluded and leaves behind a wake of memories on the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean.
After one final exhilarating day of tactical racing, the salt-crusted but high-spirited crews furled their sails for the last time. The competitive energy of the day gave way to an evening of camaraderie and celebration as 91Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ Challenge competitors, Fareast 28R teams, event partners, and the rising stars of the Absa Youth Challenge gathered at the elegant Eden Bleu Hotel on Saturday night.
It was a fitting finale – an evening filled with awards, reflections, and shared stories under the tropical sky.
The night: magical. The mood: triumphant. The week in paradise: unforgettable.
