the Dix 43, Flying Cloud is eleven

Seen here on the slip at RCYC,Cape Town in 2005.

Do boats have birthdays? well this one sure does,possibly the first boat to be launched in Cape Town in the year 2000,she was lifted by crane and launched by my mother,in Hout Bay Harbour on the 17th of January 2000,which sort of seems a long while back now,there will be some flags flying on her later today.

Jean watches as Eroll adjusts our Max Prop,take note,the instructions that come with the prop are right but the diagram they show is wrong!


Seen here back on the HBYC marina and dressed out with code flags for the boats birthday.
