Lets fly to St Helena Island!

We talked about this idea even back in 1976 when we sailed those 1740 miles From Cape Towns RCYC  to the island of St Helena on Brer Terrapin,there is a sort of flat part of the island where a runway of a reasonable size can land. Later in 1982 we discussed the same idea having done the same voyage on Ocean Cloud.

This certainally makes the yacht race from the FBYC to St Helena a very much more possible trip,race there and fly home,while the RMS St Helena brings your yacht back by sea on her decks,sign up soon,it will soon be oversubscribed?
