Entebbe is the former capital city of Uganda. It is a nice (but quite boring) town on the shore of Lake Victoria. Entebbe houses the national airport, the zoo (they prefer to call it a recreational centre), the beautiful Botanical Gardens and a place I fancy so much, Entebbe Sailing Club.Entebbe Sailing Club has this typical charm of “good old British colonial times” and a beautiful white sand beach. It is well equipped with all kind of alcohols and sails (laser, optimist and catamaran). The Entebbe Flasher is from far the biggest catamaran of ESB and most likely in the whole Uganda.
After many years spent on the sand due to its broken mast, the Entebbe Flasher was able to return to where it belongs, the Lake. A bunch of passionate sailors managed to find a 12-meter mast to install on the huge catamaran. After two days of hard work, the friends were finally able to sail, yet with some apprehension, the “beast” again.
Below are some pictures of the rebirth of Entebbe Flasher, the “biggest” catamaran of Uganda. Enjoy the breeze.
