December saw some fantastic blue-sky days for getting out and about on the water
in the run up to Christmas and, as the mince pies settle, there are now only 350 sailing
days left before next Christmas. Hebe Haven members put on a great show in this year’s
Around The Island Race with phenomenal winds helping drive their success—check out
the account of Panacea’s circumnavigation (page 46) and tales from Ichiban’s journey
(page 49).
David and Jackie Peers report on how Brigadoon survived Typhoon Haiyan that recently
slammed into the Philippines (page 36). We head west from Trinidad to Panama with Zulfi
on Moonshadow (page 42). Geoff Tayler also shares the trials and tribulations of buying
and restoring his first yacht, Paloma, at the Club (page 52).
Plus our usual roundup of the Commodore and Flag reports to keep you up to speed
on everything that is important to Hebe Haven and its members.
