The Cape Cutter 19 won the "Round The
Island Race" (Round the Isle of Wight) in its class (Modern Gaffers) this
year, coming first, second and fourth. Results are
HERE. Mike Brooke, who won the race in "Sea Badger II", a Honnor Marine built boat (Hull 87) came on to our stand with his trophies from the race, a plate and a trophy made from a dead eye block from Shackleton's "Endurance". Here he is with Bob, next to the Cape Cutter 19 show boat at the Southampton Boat Show in September. |

Another shot with Mike, Bob and Norma. Mike sailed his boat around the UK last year which proved how sea worthy the Cape Cutter is. Mike faced some high winds and stormy seas during his circumnavigation. Besides being an excellent sea boat, the Cape Cutter 19 also has a good turn of speed! |
