As most are aware, Bertie was the first South African to single-handedly complete three circumnavigations of the globe in 1991and was subsequently nominated to the Single-Handed Sailor's Hall of Fame in the Museum of Yachting at Newport, Rhode Island, U.S.A. He sailed a calculated 170 000 sea miles competitively, over 100 000 miles of which were singlehanded, all of which has earned him a special honoured place among the elite of blue-water sailors around the world.

Hi All

Once again we had mixed emotions and wind conditions on both courses

I was on the Laser course AND Dave on the Hobie/420 course.

The wind started out in the morning at about 10-15 knots southwest, but dropped quickly before we got out on the water.
