This was mid afternoon yesterday and just as the wind had started to blow, given they had left Dassen Island and in fog that morning, to arrive at Hout Bay and in thirty knots of SE breeze was a bit strange?
Yacht Windward, a Shearwater 39 by Dudley Dix was in her element yesterday, the owner told me they just deep reefed the main and went hard onto the wind, no problems at all with a Shearwater 39!
Windward is imaculate, the varnish on the wood trims is really nice and the boat looks near new.
Sadley the GRP moulds were lost (one half was damaged) so if you want a similar boat its only possible to build in wood/epoxy, either in cold moulded ply or strip plank, we can supply the bulkheads CNC cut and the rest of the materials as a kit.
