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.

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.

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.
@koosgrobbelaar2000 Жыл бұрын
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!

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🎇
