Continuing with some well known cruisers who pass by our shores,there are probabaly more than we are aware of? Sunstone is a very well known boat,designed by the late Olin Stevens who passed away just a few months back.
Tom and Vicky contacted me when they were in South America,just to say Hi and advise they would be on their way to Cape Town soon,they had a good passage and I met up with them for a cup of tea and a chat at the RCYC,they later moved to FBYC but also re tracked their course to HBYC where they stayed one night,sailing the next day in a very brisk breeze to go all the way back to FBYC in a club race,they did very well as normal.
A few words from their web site:
We had hardly settled in, washed down and recovered when South African hospitality took over. Roy McBride, the OCC Port Officer for Cape Town, helped us find all the things we needed. Dave and Erica Campbell, who we had last seen in Rarotonga in 1999, soon made contact. Their boat, Jigsaw, was ashore being refurbished ready for sale - in order to help fund their new larger boat, which is under construction.
Note: CKD Boats were able to buy Sunstone a new EPRIB for Tom and Vickys next voyage,the last I heard they has arrived in Austrailia.
