AFTER VASCO:
The boat was shipped back to Cape Town. During this voyage the ship was hit by an almighty storm. Fortunately everything was fine. The good people of MACS shipping made sure that the boat was unharmed. The next event planned was to race from Houth Bay to Simons Town(around Cape Point). The boat was sailed to Hout Bay by Ian, Dennis and some guests. On the morning of the race Dale was not feeling well and the rest of the crew did not want to sail it without him so they sailed the boat back to Cape Town instead. The plan in Cape Town was to put effort into making the interior look smart. We had not fucussed on this as the boat was going to sail twice across the atlantic, which puts a lot of wear and tear on the interior of a boat. This behind us meant that it was time to neaten up a little. The intended date of completion is hopefully to coincide with the Double Handed Race: Cape Town to Hout Bay which will be sailed with Dale and Ian aboard. After this we will start to sail club events etc...
