Quantum Sails South Africa
Manufactures some of the finest and fastest sails on the planet. Quantum SA has the most advanced
capability of any loft in South Africa & is one of the most technically competent lofts in the world.
From the highly advanced Fusion Membrane plant in the Cape and the Durban one design loft which
produced world championships winning sails in the J22, J24 and J80 classes in 2010/2011, to being
the #1 supplier and exporter of Cruising sails in South Africa, Quantum SA is unquestionably the
nation’s leading sailmaker. Producing hundreds of sails per month, Quantum SA exports their
products around the world on a daily basis.
Owner Jan Reuvers converted his South African Sail Loft to the Quantum Brand in 1998 following a
visit to the USA, where he was highly impressed by the Quantum group's dedicated approach to sailmaking
and innovative design facilities. A highly experienced yachtsman with vast experience in sailmaking,
Reuvers then began operating his two lofts to the Quantum ethos and specifications. The
Cape operation, comprising three lofts plus the Fusion Membrane manufacturing facility, is a massive
state-of the-art facility, producing sails for multihulls and keelboats of all sizes. The Durban loft is a
highly experienced team headed by racing skipper Craig Millar and specializes in sails for the world's
leading one-design keelboats & racing dinghies.

Sailing – in
the best
interest of
the sport ...
The year is flying by, April, Easter & Autumn is now upon us, the
winds of change are blowing & the air is distinctly cooler.
Much is happening to encourage us here at SailPowerSA to believe
our passion for what we are doing is attracting wonderful people
to write articles & send us news & good wishes from far & wide to
continue our quest to fuel more & more interest in to our sport of
sailing.
Clubs who have chosen to advertise their events & promote them
ahead of time have reported improved awareness & better entries
– the nine hour at Henley Midmar for example with over 70 boats
entered. This is to be noted by event sponsors & clubs alike.
People these days do need time to plan & save to attend events –
not everyone has a copy of a sailing calendar with them – so to
pick up their FREE copy of SailPowerSA with an event advertised
make sense – or to view it on line is also helpful.
Sharing a passion for sailing with other like minded people is useful
in many ways to exchange ideas & attract people who are willing
and able to become involved & offer much knowledge to
newcomers to this wonderful sport of ours.
Everyone in life has a right to enjoy their leisure time to the best
of their ability. Therefore, those of us who participate in sporting
events are also entitled to enjoyment, relaxing times. Fun
competition is great for all participants. There are always those
who “expect” others, “them” to do all the work while some just
simply take advantage. So with our mission to improve this
balance, “ask not what your sport can do for you, but what can
you do to contribute to your sport?” – we again borrow from a
famous American quote. Everyone has something useful to
contribute & to share: time, knowledge & experience,
sponsorship, unused equipment lying in a cupboard, whatever it is,
make an effort to give what you have to your sport, your club – it
is a great tonic & it will keep giving back to you.
All of us in so many ways are a lot more alike than many of us
would choose to acknowledge, we all aspire to enjoy ourselves
participating in the sport that we all love so much, & yet we so
often think it owes us something, when in fact it needs us, all of
us, to stand together in the best interest of the sport of sailing...
The old words that come to mind from a famous song, “united we
stand together, divided we fall ...”.
With this in mind, at time of writing some participants in the 2012
Inhaca race from Inhaca to Richards Bay are preparing to leave
Durban to sail up to Inhaca for the race start on 6th April, we wish
them fair winds & safe passage both in the deliveries of the yachts
& in the race itself.
There comes a time in all the hearts of sailors when the lovely
words of the poem by John Masefield come to mind. “Sea fever”
– ... I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the
sky, and all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by ...”

South African, Jonathan Swain on the helm in fast downwind
conditions, onboard PUMA Ocean Racing powered by BERG
during leg 5 of the Volvo Ocean Race 2011-12, from Auckland,
New Zealand to Itajai, Brazil.
DRAMA FOR VOLVO SAILORS IN MASSIVE SEAS
PUMA’S Ken Read revealed that Swain had been
out of action from early in the leg with an infection,
caused after the 45-yo South African was
washed down the deck by a Southern Ocean
wave. After days of worrying absence from the
wheel of Mar Mostro, Swain was well enough to
resume his driving duties. “Both personally, &
being the skipper of the boat, Jono getting better
is a huge relief,” Read said. “These aren’t things
to be played with – they’re serious issues.
“Doctor Ruth, our team doctor, prescribed Jono
quite an amazing antibiotic package which he’s
been ingesting for the past few days. “It seems to
have have done the trick. It’s another potential problem
averted which is a good thing.”
One crewman down, Read was forced to fill in for
Swain, Swain, taking on his helming duties as well as his
own. “That is what we do out here,” Read added.
“We all just just keep backing each other up.” Swain
is the third of Read’s men to pick up injuries in
Leg 5. Bowman Casey Smith was the first casualty,
injuring his back, while new recruit Thomas
Johanson dislocated his shoulder. Both were
treated treated by Swain, one of the team’s two onboard
medics, before he himself was hurt. All three
crewmen are now back in the watch system. “All
of of the the issues we’ve had on board health-wise
have have been serious and I’m just ecstatic and so
proud of the guys for dealing with it, and not just
covering for each other but for toughing it through
some hard times individually,” Read added.
“Fortunately it looks like all three of them should
have have a happy ending.” With his crew back up to
full complement, Read joked that they will be
back back into a normal watch system by the time they
reach reach Itajaí. “As we hit the dock in Itajaí, Casey
will probably say, ‘My back feels great!” he said.
GROUPAMA FIRST TO REACH CAPE
HORN, PUMA SECOND ON DRAMATIC
DAY IN VOLVO OCEAN RACE 2011-12
FOUR BOATS FACE REPAIRS AFTER WEEK
IN SOUTHERN OCEAN
Cape Horn - Groupama were the first team to
round Cape Horn on Friday, passing the mythical
maritime milestone at 1255 GMT in what
was an emotional moment for the crew.
"Passing Cape Horn is a huge relief for us,"
Groupama skipper Franck Cammas said after
12 days of hugely demanding sailing since the
fleet left Auckland. "It feels like we're leaving the
main risks behind us considering what's happened
to the other boats. We're proud to be the
first ones to pass. It's a big moment for the
crew." Groupama were followed round at 1352
by PUMA Ocean Racing powered by BERG with
all the sailors up on deck in preparation for a
celebration.
The pair now face a tactical battle over the
remaining 2,000 nm through the South Atlantic
to the Leg 5 finish in Itajaí, Brazil. Groupama
and PUMA’s crossing into the Atlantic was in
contrast to the other boats, three of which face
upcoming repairs due to structural damage, and
a fourth which is on a commercial ship headed
to the United States.
MASSIVE WAVES TAKE TOLL ON
VOLVO FLEET
Southern Ocean – The fleet of boats in the
Volvo Ocean Race 2011-12 have taken a beating
just over 10 days after leaving Auckland,
New Zealand for Leg 5 of the Volvo Ocean
Race 2011-12.
Massive 10-meter waves & powerful winds as
high as 40 and 50 knots in the Southern Ocean
have wreaked havoc on the fleet, breaking one
team’s rudder, causing de-lamination to hulls and
structural damage to several boats.
Four boats in the fleet of the Volvo Ocean Race
2011-12 have had to initiate repairs on their boats
out at sea. One of them, Chinese-entry Team
Sanya, has already returned to New Zealand,
where the boat is being shipped to the United
States with plans to restart the race from Miami
for Leg 7 in May. Overall race leaders Team
Telefónica, currently in third position, announced
that they will need to make a pit-stop in Ushaia,
Argentina, for repairs before continuing on to
Itajaí, Brazil.
CAMPER with Emirates Team New Zealand, currently
third in the overall standings, have slowed
their boat speed and are headed for Chile, where
they will stop in Puerto Montt to fix structural
damage. 5th-place Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing was
forced to carry out considerable repairs out at sea
on Friday due to hull delamination & were
assessing their options. Meanwhile, Leg 5 leaders
Groupama sailing team & PUMA Ocean
Racing powered by Berg were steadily making
their way towards Cape Horn – the only two
teams yet to suffer serious damage on this 6,700
nautical mile leg from Auckland to Itajaí.
Boats have been blasted by big swells & sailors
swept across the decks in some of the most difficult
conditions faced so far in this 11th edition of
the race. Leg 5 was expected to take around 18
days to complete with teams scheduled to arrive
April 4 in Brazil. The new arrival date for the top
2, Groupama & Puma, was estimated for April 6.

MERCURY
(a.k.a. MAINSTAY)
TO RISE AGAIN...
I love my job! This is a story after the hearts of many sailors & lovers of boats, from my hometown area of
Knysna on the Garden Route.
SailPowerSA keeps attracting lovely stories from all areas of the country and from people as passionate
about sailing & boats as we are. This story began many years ago with the early days of the always popular
Cape to Rio Yacht Race.
Technology back in those days was not what it is now & ocean crossings were even more daunting &
perilous for some different reasons than today’s pitfalls. Today, real time weather information to those at
sea seems such an everyday norm that, to cross an ocean without it would seem impossible. Yet back in the
good old days this was not always a reliable reality. Perhaps back then there were not as many “unidentified
submerged floating objects” for the vulnerable racing yachts to collide with in the middle of the night, or
at any other time, yet in then or now ocean crossings still present their challenges.
A yacht that completed this race & survived many other tough races in various oceans around the world,
was christened “Mercury” & subsequently known as “Mainstay” as a result of a sponsorship during her
elaborate racing days. She has been bought & now proudly owned
by the man who has kindly offered us at SailPowerSA the story to
share with all other passionate classic boat lovers, Mark Orpen of
Garden Route Sailing Adventures.
Here is what he sent us: ... Ed
The first Cape to Rio
Yacht Race showcased
59 of the finest crafted
yachts from around the
world at the start line in
Cape Town in 1971,
mostly specifically built
for this transatlantic
competition.
The skippers and crew
captured the interest of
the world and yachting
fever dominated both
local and international
media in the decade
that followed. Early SA
yachting Greats and the
vessels they skippered
included Bruce Dalling on
Jakaranda (SA 7), John
Goodwin on Albatros II
(SA 24), Bobby Nuttal on
Mercury (SA 3), David
Cox on Diana K (SA 12),
Comd Mickey Thomas
on Voortrekker (SA 1),
David Abromowitz on
Stormkaap (SA 10),
Bobby Bongers on
Outburst (SA 4) and
many others, all flaunting
accounts of many
journeys with captivating
adventures.
Most of these seafaring
splendours have since

Albatross II
deteriorated to paltry retirement or remain mere memories of the
past, whilst it seems that only Voortrekker has been preserved in
pristine condition in Cape Town, and soon Mercury too.
Albatros II, (the Thesen family centenary to Knysna) built in 1970 to
the ‘van der Stadt 222 sloop design’ took both the overall and
class III race honours in the 1971 Cape to Rio race. Mercury , built
in 1970 by De Dood of Bremen in Germany to the ‘van der Stadt
222 sloop design’ sailed neck on neck with ‘sister ship’ Albatros II
until the second last day when failing winds took her finishing
position in Rio de Janeiro, back to 13th.
Mercury (aka Mainstay) sponsored by Stellenbosch & Sedgwick
Taylor Co. in 1973 boasts an exciting racing history filled with major
competition participation. Despite general opinion that ‘crews
win races and not boats’, Mercury nevertheless enjoyed some
limelight in her early years:
• Cape to Rio of 1971 – finished 13th overall.
• Admiral’s Cup of 1971 – includes the Fastnet Race (975km+
along coast of Ireland) and the Channel Race; various races
/ continued....

....../continued
in the Irish Sea, the English Channel and the sea off
southwest of England). Only Jakaranda, Mercury and
Outburst were selected to participate; notably the stiffest
competition in the history of yachting – finished 6th of 16
entries.
• Cape Agulhas Ocean race of 1971 – finished 2nd (though
proven heroine of the race).
• Southern Cross Offshore 5-Race Series of 1972.
• Cape to Rio of 1973 – registered as The Mainstay.
• The Vasco da Gama Yacht Race of 1973 (Maputo to
Durban) – winner with skipper Bobby Nuttal at helm.
With Mercury changing hands five times between 1974 and
2010, various modifications were made to suit different owners
that altered her original design and finishes. By 2012, major work
was therefore needed to restore her to her former glory.
“We found her in East London in 2010. She was in shocking
condition, so we cleaned up her hull, changed some rigging
and winches and I sailed her back to Knysna” declares yacht
master & skipper Guy Lewis.
It was there in Knysna that a group of local sailing enthusiasts
began applying time, skill and energy toward a challenging
classic yacht restoration project. And fitting too that the ‘slowliving’
calm Knysna estuary (birthplace of Albatros II) would
become the ‘Golgotha’ site for the rebirthing of Mercury (SA 3)
along with promoting the stories of old and the contagious
romances of these ‘van der Stadt 222 design’ sisters.
The intention to commission Mercury for Classic Sailing Adventures
along the Garden Route coastline; where yachters from around
the world can listen to tales of these legend sisters, hear stories
of the Thesen boat yard (builders of Albatros II and Voortrekker),
Mercury’s challenging restoration project, the rich history of the
pioneering families of the region now called the Garden Route
National Park, and ‘all aboard' the legendary Mercury.
“Uncovering the history of SA Sailing’s 3rd registered yacht in
1971, packed with remarkable stories has been both inspiring
and enjoyable to discover. Her racing career in South Africa,
South America and Europe, and her advertising stint as the
island style pleasure yacht ‘The Mainstay’ in the 1980’s being
some of the highlights,” explains project sponsor Mark Orpen.
“The inputs and advice from past skippers, owners, contractors,
the Thesens of Knysna who held original plans of this famed
vdStadt 222 sloop cutter design, and the many yachting
experts in Knysna and around the world who have freely shared
their insights and rich experience; has all made this restoration
project possible.”
“After careful consideration, the restor -
ation team was identified.” continues
Orpen, “Our first objective to restore her
to her former glory, with design integrity,
improved functionality with cost effective
and high quality resources was the
ultimate challenge.”
Appointed to the lead the restoration
project were yachtsman and craftsmen
Keith Barnes and Edward Walker drawing
inputs from John Goodwin, Dave Cox,
Bruce McCurrach, Rob Sherlwood, Roger
Clancey, Mike Lavery, Mark Suzman, Guy
Lewis and many others to follow.
Lying naked and prostrate in the Knysna
Quays, Mercury went under the scalpel
in February 2012. Stripped of deck fittings,
rigging and mast; extensive surgery
followed to scores of wood rot sections to
the deck, repairs to solid teak sections of
the gunnel and cockpit ensued; stainless
steel trim repairs began and new Bimini
and spray dodger designed and
commissioned.
“Deck repairs should have been com -
pleted by end March,” describes Barnes, “the blacksmith,
carpenters, steel guys and some of my old ‘chommies’ are all
grafting away to bring this beauty back to life!”
The phased project included:
• Removal of wood-rot, rebuild & recoat cockpit, deck, hull
and teak gunnels.
• Removal of old and installation of new imported 37.5hp
Nanni engine.
• Removal of the 1986 installed aluminum framed hull, spine
structure and rebuild the originally designed cold-moulded
timber keelson and stringers structure.
• Improving rigging design, repair winches, install new

electronic and Raymarine navi -
gational equipment.
• Repairing stanchions, pulpit, push
pit and other stainless steel com -
ponents.
• Designing & installing new spray
dodger and Bimini.
• Designing & installing classic thinpaneled
MITRE cut new sails to
original specs.
• Rebuilding saloon, navigation station,
galley, head and berths.
When asked whether Mercury would
be fit to sail another Cape to Rio race;
Barnes commented, “We’ll have her
breezing the Antarctic to prove her
fitness and show the world what this
1970 Classic Dream 42ft really can
do.” Orpen concludes: “A Cape to Rio
transatlantic race featuring some 1970
classic entries may well be just what
Mercury is waiting for to celebrate her
50th birthday. But in the meantime, we
invite everyone to join Garden Route
Sailing Adventures later this year and
experience the history of that first
Cape to Rio race of 1971; sailing upon
Mercury herself!”
By: Keith Barnes (Restoration team
leader) 08 Mar 2012
Wot now… back in Knysna. Been
introduced to some luvly ladies, the
best going by the name of Mercury
(SA3). She is a beaut 42’ laminated
Mahogany race yacht, sister to
Albatros II, the Thesen family entry &
winner of the 1st Cape to Rio race in
1971. Albatross II was skippered by
John Goodwin & Mercury by Bobby
Nuttall.
Unfortunately Mercury has not
received the TLC deserving of her
classic design and history.
Mercury is now in the process of being
restored and partly reconstructed by
Mark (cell phone) Orpen, Guy (space
cadet) Lewis, Keith (skande) Barnes
(yachtsman, originator of the Knysna
Jetty Tapas & spirited fellow in charge
of restoration) and assisted by Ed
(fearless) Walker.
If asked how much work is there to be
done, the appropriate answer would
be: `How long is a piece of string?’
As with any such project (particularly
wooden boats) the full extent of
damage, wood rot & general
deterioration is never known till the
lady is stripped to her underwear as
painlessly as possible. Keith maintains
she is cooperating but, being a
gentleman will not reveal all her
secrets. Mercury is definitely looking
forward to coming out of surgery
recovering and heading straight back
to a centrefold again (maybe Playboy).
Remember, many a good tune is
played on an old fiddle…
Mercury reckons she’ll be fit & smart
enough to have you aboard soon!
How about some real sailing?
Overnight destinations – Plett, St
Francis Bay, Mossell Bay or for the
more adventurous, a trip around the
much respected most southern point
of Africa, Cape Agulhas. Maybe stopover
in one of two Southern Cape
fishing villages, and all the way to
Gordon’s Bay, Simons Town & Table
Bay (Cape Town). In winter months,
mite think of following the sun north –
as far as you wish to rove.
For those poor souls who do not have
enough play-time, Mercury will take
you sailing through the Knysna Heads
into local waters & return for a jol
aboard moored in the Knysna lagoon.
With skipper & crew members you will
yourselves be sailing. These adventures
are sailing experiences. We leave the
Jacuzzi & air conditioning behind;
snorkelling and sports fishing is
included in the package.
Probably an excellent way to waste
your time usefully!! Give it some thort!

A yacht race of this size simply cannot take place without
significant partnership with a title sponsor. SAMSA (South
African Maritime Safety Association) saw an opportunity to
present their message of safety to 100s of yachtsmen &
women all in one place & chose to come to the party. And
party they did!
The annual Round the Island Yacht Race hosted by Lake
Deneys yacht Club on the Vaal dam has become known for
“and a good time was had by all”... Hoards of party loving &
sailors from every corner of the country flock to the tiny
Freestate town of Deneysville, some hauling boats from as far
away as Cape Town & Durban, to sail, spectate or simply
savour a 3 day week-end of fun, sun, sailing & party sounds &
for the serious sailors hopefully some wind!

Close racing seen in the fleet at times, Barefoot Dancer with owner Steve
Mommen & Henrietta on the foredeck & skipper Neil Hamilton on the helm.
2102 was no exception, even though the economy is in a
slump, people still made their way to this entertaining event,
filling up the campsites & caravans at LDYC, bringing friends
& family from far & wide.
Entertainment was provided by the usual radio guys
announcing & motivating everyone to enjoy what was on
offer. Bands Mckenzie Blue & Moonshine were well supported
by professional Djs C-J & Dominique Milln from Megamix
Promotions (of the DAC leopard print party fame), who all
had the crowds rocking & dancing the nites away.
There was an awesome gravity defying air display by four
Harvard planes that had everyone mesmerized with their
flying tricks, dives & rolls & diesel smoke trails lingering to show
their paths through the sky. A monster waterslide was a great
hit with the young & not so young! & even the Sea Rescue
guys were seen stripping off to have a go down its watery
slope...

a distinguished RTIR veteran seen here on the Peterson 33, Barefoot Dancer.
Volunteers were roped in to provide all the necessary services,
assist with registration for the race, do bar duty or kitchen duty
or help out wherever required including gate duty. Many stall
operators sold their wares & offered all kinds of bargains, even
the Puma truck all the way form Cape Town was spotted
marketing Volvo Ocean Race gear as great prices till late in
the evenings.
Saturday early evening after the tune up race, the NRSI
Launch party, (by invitation only) was held in the Marquee just
in front of the LDYC clubhouse to celebrate the launch of new
life saving equipment for use by station 22 on the Vaal Dam.
“Sea Rescue” seems a term out of place 100’s of miles from
the ocean, however, many rescues are performed every
month by the guys who man this station 24/7.

Sunday morning dawned, bright & early the announcers &
music makers had everyone out of tents, caravans &
wherever they fell down the night before for some of the party
people! The Early morning start of this race is traditional &
many sailors take a few years to realise that a good nights
sleep is a prerequisite to a successful sail.
The hustle & bustle on the jetties with tenders & ferries
transporting crew to yachts out on moorings was like a
Photo by Oxana Nacu
Chinese port with every type of craft buzzing about in what
seems like no order at all. The start lines are equally chaotic
with many different size yachts & dinghies rushing up & down,
trying to see the committee boats & hear the sound signals
over loudly flapping sails & then there are those that have no
idea what signals mean or what rules apply at all, they are just
there to go round the island on a learning curve.
This year the Multihulls did not have things all there own way
as the start was a beat to windward, favouring the monohulls.
The “unspoken rule of the winners route”, up the Western
shore close to the dam wall & up around “Chicken Tree” &
then across to the gap on the eastern side of the island
proved once again to be the trump card for the leading
yachts.
The winning yacht on handicap, the L26 Sail no 008 Windways
followed this textbook route as did 2nd placed yacht, finishing
only seconds behind, Trevor Hulleman, DAC commodore
sailing his J22 Hay J.
As with every Round the Island race, there are many tales to
tell & some say “never again” when the wind dies & traps
them behind the island for what seems like hours (often is)!,
yet every year they are all back again, bringing friends,
hoping for a better time, more wind, anything that will
encourage yet another trip around that island....
The thank you list for this event could be as long as the entry
list, yet is is essential that all participants remember to be
thankful for all the volunteers & sponsor & everyone who
contributes time, money & passion to make this event an
annual success, as well as a great shop window to new sailors
to join our sport of sailing.
And last but not least, to you the sailors, the regatta could not
take place without all of you, so a huge thank you for entering
& please come again next year & bring all your friends.

Showing ’em
how its done!
SailPowerSA asked Phil Bennet to give us
an account of his winning trip round the
island on winning yacht in the 2012 SAMSA
RTIR, the L26, sail no. 008, Windways.
Phil & his crew chose to forgo the tune up
races & bank on a breeze making an
appearance for the main race & the
traditional Sunday early morning start. This
proved to be a really good move for
them. A typical RTIR “here & there” breeze
drifted over the dam of approximately 3 –
8 knots which hung about most of the day,
playing hide & seek with the sailors.
Winning Way
with Windways!
In Phils words....
We started in the 2nd start at 8.20am after the Ultra class (this class
is set aside for boats with a scratch handicap or better). Our start
was fairly crowded but we all managed to get away unscathed, being
a windward start was also better as it spread the boats over the
entire line with very little bias either way. Our plan was to stay as
close to the Deneysville shore as possible and made short tacks in
and out of this shore until we cleared Manten Marina, once clear of
Mantens’ we were able to continue unhindered on starboard tack
until we reached the dam wall, the pressure stayed fairly consistent
all the way and at about 100m from the dam wall we tacked onto
port and were able, albeit close hauled, to make the mark at the
island. Once we reached the island it was clear that our strategy
had paid off as we were then amongst the front end of the Ultra Boat
class and well ahead of the boats in our start.
We sailed around the back of the island mostly on port tack but at the
time the wind was dying. Once round the island we put us the bag
and started what was ultimately a very stressful downwind run. We
stayed close the shore & ran directly for “chicken tree”, (the name
of an area notorius for running aground on Vaal dam), after
“chicken tree” the wind came & went intermittently & it appeared
as if the boats further back toward the island were in better wind, in
fact they were. They closed the gap of around 8 minutes to the final
winning time gap of only 11 seconds.
My crew, Clive Whitburn, up and downwind trimmer and
accomplished Fireball and Laser sailor and co boat owner, Mark
Abbotts, my good friend and long time crew, most notably on a 505
also co boat owner and Paul Eccleston fairly new to sailing and
sponsor / transporter of his good daughter Megan who is an up and
coming sailor and a very good dabchick helm. It was made clear to
the crew that the upwind part of the race was my responsibility and
they had the responsibility of getting us to the finish on the run, this
they did admirably & possible in a less stressed frame of mind than
myself.
We don’t often get the opportunity to beat our fellow club mate &
good friend Rob Wilcox also sailing an L26, in this instance we were
ahead of him & determined to keep it that way until the finish.
For us & Windways, a satisfactory conclusion to another RTIR & a
year that suited Monohull keelboats as opposed to Cats and Multihulls
in view of the direction of the wind. I look forward to next year,
hopefully we get as much wind & perhaps more.

There were all types of boats
competing – both large and small -
dinghies, keelers, and catamarans.
There were the serious sailors, and the
fun sailors, and there was an added
complement of the Land Rover
Experience competitors, as one of their tasks
for the day was to complete a
lap on one of the keelboats
participating in the 9 Hour.
Half of the competitors had
a raceTrack tracking device on
board which enabled the crews
on shore who were waiting for their turn to go onto the
water, as well as other people in the Clubhouse, to see the
positions of the boats throughout the race. Each boat’s
position was displayed on a screen in the Clubhouse, and
this made for some interesting watching. The fastest boat
speed recorded by raceTrack was 14.6 knots, and this was
achieved by a Dart 18.
The race started promptly at 09h30, and the first boat to
complete one lap was the 49er. This was hotly pursued by a
Hobie 16, with Struan Campbell on his Hickman 680 – Stoked
– being the third boat to complete the first lap.
As the day progressed the boats settled down into sailing
round the course, with the crew changes close to the shore
causing some merriment among the spectators. The
recorders were kept busy, as there was always someone
crossing the ‘end of lap line’.
The racing finished at 17h30 for the handicap trophy,
and then continued for another hour until 18h30 for the line
honours prizes.
The overall results were:
Handicap Honours
1st Steve Hegerstrom and Roger Hill sailing a Halcat.
2nd Hans Rogotski and Thomas Funke sailing a 505
3rd Jonathan Ham and Mark Biagio sailing a 505
The scratch results were:
Most number of laps: Alec Lanham-Love and Richard
Weddell sailing a 49er, who did
15 laps.
First keelboat: Anton Ellens and Nigel Milln sailing
Dynamite, a Hickman 680, who did
13 laps.
First multihull: Sean Fennessy and John Marshall
sailing a Hobie 16, who did 13 laps.
Right: Henley Midmar is home to many types of smaller
yachts, Hunters in particular, some seen resting on their
moorings as other yachts sail by.
Many different types of
boats took part in the race.

The Quantum HMYC 9-Hour 2012 event which was
recently held at Henley Midmar Yacht Club in the KZN
Midlands was indeed a successful event.
There was a large entry of 70 boats
competing, with each boat being sailed by two
teams who had to alternate throughout the race.
The race started at 09h30 on Saturday 25th
February, in a light northerly wind,
which built up a bit in
strength as the race
progressed, and then
switched to come from
the Dam wall in the afternoon.
There was a good vibe at the Club, with all day music
by Djay – C-J Milln, and the clear weather allowed the
spectators on the lawns and the Clubhouse verandah
to have a good view of the fleet as they sailed
round the course.
The winning Keel boat skippered by
Anton Ellens and Nigel Milln.

This race is one of the oldest long distance races to be run
on Vaaldam each year and they have varied in strength of
entries and wind over time. This year’s race saw a small
field – only twelve entries but the quality of the field was
sub stantial. The race was over 30 kilometres starting at
Muster mark in the middle of the dam area with the course
running to the DAC mark and then to VCA mark in Aloe
Fjord via a bridge “gate. From there the course headed
westerly again to Government farm mark at the edge of
North Bay. From here the fleet travelled down to South
Island again via the bridge gate, back to Government Farm
and then finishing at Muster Mark.
There was a good representation of big boats in the fleet not
surprising with good winds forecast! The race commenced at
4pm in a very light South easterly – around 5 knots with the
trimarans moving quickly to the head of the fleet. As the sun
by Neil Hamilton

started to set, the wind improved and the race was on! There
were some fierce looking thunderheads over the west which
gave rise to the possibility of a wet night but fortunately this
was not to be.

The wind however picked up substantially through the evening
peaking around 20 knots and held easterly to southeasterly
which was perfect weather for the bigger boats. Once
rounding VCA mark the boats were all on broad reaches most
of the time making for fast times. The author had the privilege
of sitting out the South Island mark and witnessed the
competitors going through this leg. It is indeed an awesome
sight to see these shadowy behemoths, oozing out of the
darkness with miniscule lights, thundering round the mark
with crashing sails and roar of water under their bows.
Certainly the crews were working hard in the conditions. A
couple of boats appeared to get lost but, in spite of the black
conditions, everyone finished without mishap or major
breakages (unlike last year!). As the instructions did not
provide for additional laps the race was over in record time
and so everyone was safely in the pub by 9pm! The wind kept
up all night and we could have had a marathon equal to the
Two Oceans, but perhaps it was as well it finished early.
For the record the placings (adjusted for handicap) were as
follows:

Well – what a weekend! Wind up to 55 kmh and a fairly strong starting
field for the Formula One Highveld Championships, marked an excellent
beginning for this regatta over the 17th and 18th March 2012. The
Highvelds were held at Vaal Cruising Association at Vaal Dam with nine
boats entered. Whilst this was a smaller field than previous years there
was substantial quality in the sailing skills of the competitors.
The course on day one was set long in view of the amount of wind which
stayed in the 25 to 35kmh bracket all day. As is often the case the top
four boats settled into a pod of tough competition with positions changing
in each race.
The second pod of five boats settled into a similar level of competition with
tense jousting for position and several broaches under spinnaker. “London
Calling” made such a habit of it people started to call them the “Wet
Cleaners” no doubt referring to the sail rinses which were taking place!
Following a hearty braai and breakfast the following morning the
competitors headed out in minimal winds ranging from 10 km/h in the
first race and fading gradually through the morning. Three races were
again managed although the second race of the day was shortened to two
laps. Again the field battled it out and what was remarkable was how the
light winds were more successfully handled by competitors who had
struggled in the first day’s competition.
All in all the racing was fairly close although Jolly Roger (DAC) and Radio
Holland (LDYC) did not compete in the last race, having done enough to
secure their first and second places respectively. Well done to Chris Durr
and crew on Jolly Roger who took final honours and Chris Phillips on Radio
Holland in second place. Third overall was Casimozo (Steve Nicol – DAC)
and fourth was Finesse (Louis Nortje – VCA).

Thanks must go to Eddie Biaggio and his crew of bridge and mark layers
for his excellent course setting and bridge work particularly in the trying
conditions on the Saturday. All in all it would appear everyone enjoyed a
fine weekend of class competition.

very shallow waters (great for going up rivers) &
will stand up straight (if the keel is up) on the
beach, river bank etc when the tide is out. The
rudders are controlled by a cable & pulley
system attached to the main wheel. The keel
is raised or lowered by a manual winch from the
inside, easy enough for one person to
operate.Wherever possible the pumps & winches
are manual as it is better suited to cruizing in
remote areas where spare parts are difficult to
find. The bilges show no sign of rust. She has
