CRUISERS go RACING! Drifting Ep. 32

January 29, 2022 by DRIFTING sailing adventures | Language: EN Play Time: 00:11:32 | SAILING YOUTUBERS

SUNDAY SAILING! Cruisers go RACING! While waiting for Madagascar to open we take advantage of joining in the Sunday Sailing Spring racing series!

We're a sailing cruising boat, not a racer... But needless to say we take SeaScape out, all 12 tons of her, full of our worldly possessions and head out and join in the last three races for the year.
We experience everything from light winds and flying our spinnaker to 27 knots, heeling over and getting soaked!

Being cruisers we generally choose a good weather window and sail in one direction, so this yacht racing is good for us as it forces us to get out sailing in any conditions and practise most points of sail.

Thanks for watching!

Much love,
Moya, Charlotte and Robin

After many working years in the real world. Charlotte and Robin decided to take a break and live a simpler, less cluttered life. We bought a 42' Beneteau in March of 2019, and along with our daughter Moya have sailed SeaScape across the globe back home to South Africa where we prepared SeaScape and then set off to explore exotic East Africa!
