A day at the races and Coventry Climax 08 02 2014


That's me, I am off to the Kilarney Race Circuit this morning to see all the period and classic racing cars!


The best money we can ever spend is to support the WPMC each year so they can afford to host the event.

I drove my Hillman Imp to second place in the Argus Group series car, in the same event but that was forty two years back!

Black Cat to win the 2014 15 Governors Cup Race



Well I really do hope so.

This is the startling news just in, it turns out that the yacht Avanti used her motor to get in front the the Dix Design Black Cat.

There is still an outside chance that two yachts and some 500 miles away can still win but this seems unlikly?

Read more on the story on the FBYC web site.

Better still read about the event at the link here http://dudleydix.blogspot.com/

The name Black Cat came from a sponsership that the boat got over twenty years back, I note the sponsers are still being rewarded for their support!


Well done to the Black Cat team for winning fairly.

She took the first across the line and handicap award, so did a clean sweep and will have been awarded the Governors Cup !

HBYC Hout Bay South Africa The 2014 Opening Cruise


Nice weather, no breeze really the wind indicator was doing 360s at some times !


More wind would have been handy but rather the calm then too much wind.



The club presidents boat, Chris Sutton was also Commodore of the HBYC for a number of years.


Athol off  Jenal joined me for the cruise.


Yacht She, an ex TBA boat was there as well.



Yendo brought his Simonis 35 around Cape Point the day before, he had been at the FBYC for their Spring Regatta.


The commodores boat was anchored and took our salute.




On our way back to the Hout Bay Harbour, Athol is putting the fenders back over the side.

Nice day!
