I found a blog on a home built boat named The Star of the West, this is a seriously good read and starts off in South Africa and inland in a place named Kimberly, thats the town with a large hole in the center from excessive digging for diamonds done over the years.
FBYC stands for False Bay Yacht Club, which is in Simonstown, Cape Province.
This is a great picture of the crew of The Star of the West,all in dark blue tee shirts but who is that odd man out? Its Roger McCormick, I know him well, a past winner of the Burn Wood Trophy for Seamanship after a great self built boat and a single handed voyage in the same boat.
