Hi JWD just to let you know that Dragon and I have successfully sailed from Durban SA (Jan 09) to Opua in NZ (Nov 09) via the Panama Canal and the South Pacific islands, meeting Hans Klaar and John Jameson in Tahiti!
Great trip. Dragon (T38) did exceptionally well and arrived in NZ in as good a condition as she left.
Had two bad storms on the way which needed drogues but very comfortable once deployed.
Regards,
Dave Vinnicombe
