Participants
in the Governor's Cup Race to St Helena in 2008 have a choice
of several ways to get home after the race. You may:
Carry
on to the Caribbean and beyond:………. the best option!
Ship the yacht back to Cape Town from St Helena.
Sail on a long fetch to Walvis Bay and ship the yacht back from
there.
Sail against the trade winds and South Easter directly to Cape
Town.
Sail clockwise around the eastern fringe of the High to Cape Town.
Sail
the longer but easier, anti-clockwise semi-circle west of the
High.
Motor
straight through the High and sail in to Cape Town from the SW.
.
At the request of the Governor's Cup (GC8) organizing committee
at the False Bay Yacht Club, herewith some thoughts on the return
home for participants in the Governor's Cup Race to St Helena
in 2008. If you are not able to carry on to South America or the
Caribbean this time, you can either ship your yacht or sail it
home.
.
If
you wish to ship your yacht and crew back from St Helena be warned
that space is limited and being taken up rapidly. Visit the Shipping
and Travel section of the website, www.thegovernorscup.com for
info on how to make bookings and the costs.
For those wishing to sail home, here comes first a bit of basic
info, then some opinions on the best route home.
