Cape Cutter 19 - Capable Little Cruiser

The Jo Sinfield and "Bandoola" sailing the Irrawaddy River in Myanmar.
Another remarkable journey was the fund-raising voyage that Mike Brooke made with his CC19 "Theo's Future", to raise funds for research and treatment of a congenital eye disease. Mike is an ex Royal Marine and highly experienced dinghy sailor. He circumnavigated England in June to September 2008, with a variety of friends and family crewing for him on various legs. He raised more than his target and was able to buy important hi-tech equipment for treatment of the condition. Theo is Mike's nephew, who was born healthy but lost his sight to the condition within months. Mike continues to raise funds by selling his book about the voyage, "Fight for Sight on Theo's Future - A Voyage of Hope & Endeavour". If you want to read his story and support this very worthwhile cause, you can buy his book at David Farquhar and crew Fiona on CC19 PipistrelleThese very capable little boats have wonderful character and are well-loved by their owners. It will be interesting to see where else their owners may take them (or be taken by them).
