ARC Around the World Rally starts in HBYC waters today!


HBYC has enjoyed having the ARC fleet here,being over a christmas season it required special effort from the marina team,this included laying seven concrete mooring blocks,chain and risers to hold the larger yachts.


ARC entrant,yacht Chessie who had a full service,incluing a new rudder,genoa,mizzen,engine service,impellors on the bow thruster and a new bottom paint job too.



Just two of the large cats that will be on the start line at 12 noon today,next stop is the island of St Helena,thats around 1740 miles north west of Cape Town and with luck,a nice down wind sail most of the way.
