Yesterday we went to a talk by Pete Goss at the Royal Cape Yacht Club.
 
You may remember that in 1996 he rescued a Frenchman ( Rafael Dinelli) from his sinking yacht during the Vendee Globe race.
 
After this his new project was to build an extremely fast catamaran....Team Phillips.  It sadly fell apart in a storm as you can see in one of the pictures.
 
His latest project is sailing from Cornwall to Australia in a traditional wooden Lugger which we were able to see..called "Spirit of Mystery".
 
Good luck to him !
