What boat (s) are you building or do you own?: We are negotiation to buy and rebuild a 42ft Pahi. (Captain Cook)

About me or us?: We were shipwrecked at Madagascar in our 45ft Endurance Schooner- mainly due to the deep draft of the vessel and certainly due to my inexperience.

Looking to?: Learn from those who have been there and have the T shirt- so that we can go out and try again.

We will be in Cape Town on 4/5 February and Durban on 7th February. If you are going to be in the area and would be happy to meet with us to discuss Wharram building and owning, we would enjoy it very much. Please let us know as soon as possible.
Regards
John and Kat

we are sailing from New York to Sydney on the Queen Mary 2 and are now looking at hiring a car in durban at 8am when we dock and driving up to Richards Bay for the day. we have to be back on the QM by 5pm but that still leaves a few hours at the Zululand Yacht Club with you and any other wharramers who are willing to meet us :) we'll contact you closer to the date but are really looking forward to swapping Pahi building stories and seeing where you are up to with yours. we'll bring photos of ours. cheers J&K

Given your comments re the drive time & our departure restrictions, we will now not drive up north, but take up Chris Bretters offer to see his boat which is only 20km from Durban.

Many thanks for the info, please keep in touch.

Regards,

John & Kat
