In preparation for the Navy Sailing Club’s annual Commodore/Independence Day Boat Race, slated for October 1, 2024, the club has formed a six-man committee to oversee the event’s planning PeakNews Online reports.

A memo, signed by the Club Commodore, Captain Festus Adewuyi, and dated September 10, 2024, confirmed the appointment of Omechili Abriba Joseph as the committee chairman.

Eighteen boats that participated in the Lagos Yacht Club event are expected to compete in the Independence Day race. Despite only nine boats finishing the last race, the Navy Sailing Club secured two of the six trophies awarded, reinforcing their reputation within Nigeria’s sailing community.
