SALVADOR TO CAPE TOWN:
Chris du Toit was the delivery skipper. We chose him as we felt that he had a good technical and sailing background having done extensive sailing. He is also conservative as a sailor which is good for the boat. He has a crew of three when leaving Salvador. They sailed onto Rio where they lost one crew member. The prepared the boat for their Atlantic crossing. They had a very tough crossing with a few gales which slowed them down, they encoutered a few technical issues en route. They were fortuante to get a weather window which allowed them to stop at Tristan du Cuhna, they spent two nights there. They then sailed onto Cape Town. They had a long tough voyage. Chris did a good job in bringing the boat. Some other boats at this time did not fair as well.
