That Cape George 36 was built just down the road from me. In fact I drive down Cape George every day. I reckon it's a good boat, eh !!

Calm cool and collected - and to be so freakin’ knowledgeable about technical details, all says to me, a great open ocean captain - importantly - a small boat, single handed captain.

What an amazing Woman, being interviewed in a pair of her fav track pants paint stains an all. What Kirsten has done for Women all around the world is absolutely Awesome, giving them the courage to do whatever they desire. Congratulations your a brave strong Sailor. 🌈🇦🇺👍 This interviewer keeps asking the same questions over and over, mate ur dealing with a very intelligent Woman, get on with it.

Good luck Kirsten. We're following your race with great interest - particularly because you're from the Eastern Cape! Fair winds. I also need to compliment Gerrit Louw on the quality of the interview, and his ability to keep everything relevant and to the point. I'm sure your interviewees appreciate that as well.

All in all I found myself hanging on every word. Good questioning, more then generous & elaborations from an equally generous skipper-builder Kirsten . I feel a bit part of the voyage for like Kirsten,my home uses excellent oil lantern light via the Weems & Plath Yacht Lamp.. perfect classic snug cozy- even heat source🎇

with just drop boards and a sliding hatch , waves that break into the cockpit will make for quite a wet area down below around the companionway . really should have a watertight hatch between cockpit and belowdecks . my two cents
