A traditional boat seen in Hout Bay

When the wind was from the SE this very large boat could hang off the inner marina but as soon as it swung to the north he had no choice but to move as the wind was then on his port stern quarter.


The converted German fishing boat Schwalbe.

Having a waterline of 57 feet long can have its own challenges! the boat is around 80 feet long overall?
