😅😊

Excellent video Gerrit. Good to see the changes you made for the race - your technical knowledge boggles my mind (but that happens very easily these dats!) At this stage you're heading up the Atlantic for the finish, so good luck.

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 !!

I own a Contessa 26 and live in Akron, OH right across the street from where the Black Keys used to live (the music track on this video). I get a kick out of that every time I watch it haha

Bull shit....you could have been sailing anywhere....where is the visual of the Cape...👎👎👎

With this hull shape it can keep the course on its own, it seems, to let the crew relax for some time.

Wow, I owned this exact boat around 16yrs ago. Is her name still Seafever? I did a lot of the work on the boat myself, namely a new cockpit floor and repaint in the cockpit. That piece of timber behind the compass I also shaped and fitted with the new compass as well as those timbers for the companion way boards to hold them tighter than the original metal plates. Anyway, great boat, she sailed so well. Biggest regret of my life was not sailing her to the carribean when I was young and had her.

well done! not that a lubber has the faintest idea what you were talking about. first thing I googled was windlass...

Awesome , Mark Barbados

Congratulations, well done.

Great interview. It's no wonder she won!

Would be interesting to know the daily routine, sleep patterns (what was the longest sleep on the whole voyage) eating, navigation, repairs, filming etc etc. 😊

I'd like to see how her main sheet is rigged...great vid.

So amazing! What a brave woman.

This was an excellent tour/interview. Both are so knowledgeable and discuss as equals.

Pas de doute, cette dame est une gagnante !

I want to sail the oceans with her. 😂

My kind of woman.

Great video, but whoever did the closed captions was not a sailor!😊

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.

Loved listening to this. South Africans are so recognisable...Ja...Ag... love it 😂❤

💙 🏆

❤❤❤❤❤❤

Interesting to watch now as in real time he is about to get hit by the 2 biggest storms yet as he approaches Cape Horn.🤞🤞🤞 I hope he can stream warps ok with all those that gear bolted to the back Cheers Warren

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.

Yor, great boat with a great skipper. 🙂

little did he know at the time that this lady is heading up the race rounding cape horn 1st when only 4, edit: correction 3 competitors were left....

Thanks a lot for sharing this interesting meeting with Kirsten!

Not stormy x 2

Very interesting thanks Jeremy Good luck

You are very patient, Kirsten, with all the questions. I wonder how many times you have answered the same question in the past. Thank you for the info. Have always loved the Cape George cutter. Good choice! Good luck and safe travels.

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.

Jeremy, good luck with this huge adventure. You have a fantastic boat and coupled with your skills as a sailor, which you're so modest about, I have little doubt that you'll make us all proud. I must also compliment Gerrit Louw on this interview. His understanding and knowledge of the subject matter ensures that his questions and discussions are always to the point and highly relevant. Thank you!

"Skopbank of Finland" did the Whitbread 1981/82...😊, she was a family owned Baltic 51.

That is not stormy sailing.

2:00 Teak down the dicks?

Nice seat and coffee holder he has made

Camera - holder NEEDS some lessons!!

Beautiful tiller!

I love "the little gooitjie on top" that receives the spinnaker

Interesting

Beautiful boat💖💖💖

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🎇

Tough cookie :) ... coupla weeks in and she is second ... mentally right there I think

Was this recorded before or after she set sail for France? Wishing her all the best in this adventure.

Good luck Jeremy..

Best of luck, Jeremy. And thank you for the tour.

What a beautiful boat - ans preparations well thought out - as a Zims boy - all the best for the race Kirsten..

very interesting talk & tour. I understand most of the tech talk. Will be following you.

Best wishes Jeremy.
