This was the 15th Rothmans Week which had attracted top ocean racers skippered by some of South Africa’s top helmsmen, and quoted by the Cape Times as follows: “Dave Abromowitz, Bertie Reed, John and Ian Martin, Bobby Bongers, Peter Muzik, Hans Berker, Ted Kuttel, Molly Warr, Joe van der Westhuizen, Etienne van Cuyck, Steve and Rob Meek and Vince Goldswain in his sleek new ocean racer ‘Thunderchild’, are in the spectrum of sailing skills that will be making this regatta more competitive than ever.
“And two highly experienced sailors from the Island Sailing Club at Cowes, England, are sailing in the L34 class under sponsorship by Overnite Express.”
