Tuesday, March 5, saw the spectacular SW 94 sailing yacht Windfall arrive in the popular Mediterranean yacht charter destination – Genoa in Italy, completing her first long voyage that started 5 weeks ago in Cape Town. The magnificent 29-metre Windfall yacht was launched by the respected South African shipyard Southern Wind last year.

Captain Fabrizio and his international great crew reported a stunning sailing experience. More than the 90% of the 30 days of navigation was made undersail. The Italian, South African, French, English, Austrian, Spanish (from Catalugna) crew experienced all the weather conditions starting from the warm South Easterly wind all the way to St. Helena, then the doldrums across the Equator, the low pressures and strong winds of the Nothern Atlantic.

They hit a maximum speed of 26,3 knots (2 reefs and staysail) while battled the very cold and unpredictable winter over the Alboran Sea.
