Romance and Red Pepper in Table Bay,photo(damaged) by Roy McBride
Rarely have two most different boats been so close,the brigantine is Romance,she was on one of her regular visits to Cape Town,the crew were a mixture of permanent crew,backed up with students from all walks of life,never have I seen such a happy bunch of people.I took this picture from the deck of the Ingrid 38 Brer Terrapin,a well known double ender that was designed by William Atkin, built I believe in Johannesburg.The IOR yacht next to Romance is Red Pepper,a Peterson 33,she has a sister ship called Black Pepper,a boat that has won many regattas in Cape Town due to the very carefull way she was constructed,the laminate was really mean when it came to the amount of polyester resin in her,she floats inches higher than most Peterson 33 yachts.
