Delivery to Simonstown 31st March 2012

Pic of Siger Rounding Cape Point.
We delivered the boat in preparation for the Easter Regatta, a club event which takes place in Simonstown...
Left Cape Town after 7:30am.. winds were Southerly 16 knots.. motored the first section in the lee of Sea Point..,.. Off Llandudno the winds were 20 knots with it settling down to about 9-11 knots by the time we reached Slangkop... We ended up motor sailing to Cape Point in a very slopppy sea with big swells.. After Cape Point we hoisted kite with the breeze increasing to the early 20's.. with the boat sailing nicely... We reached Simonstown roughly 9.5 hours after chucking off lines in CT. Aboard were Sieger and Dale. Boat performed well.
