Kids sailing academy opens at Battery Park

The V&A has teamed up with the Little Optimist Trust to open The Little Optimist Sailing Academy, an initiative by wave surfer, sailor, and ocean activist Greg Bertish.

Children from across the Western Cape will be taught the basics of sailing and water safety, before being given the opportunity to captain their own boat. Another key focus for the academy is taking kids coming from disadvantaged backgrounds and providing them with sailing training and knowledge in ocean health, plastic pollution, and safety. Parents can also take advantage of the space for kids’ parties and group lessons.

Weekly footfall update

We’ve had five consecutive months in level 1 which has enabled us to see clearer patterns in visitors coming to our neighbourhood. As anticipated, month-end saw a rise in foot traffic for the full duration of the weekend bringing our weekly foot count number to 45k visitors per day.
