Early this morning, Majan docked in Cape Town02nd March 2010

The A100 trimaran Majan swept into Table Bay, Cape Town, in bright moonshine at 02:45 GMT early this morning (Tuesday 2 March) after screaming around Cape Point and down the Peninsula at speeds of over 30 knots in strong south easterly winds gusting up to 40+ knots. Cape Town is a designated stopover for the Indian Ocean 5 Capes Race – the first official edition of the race is scheduled 2012. Majan left Muscat, Oman, last month on 6 February and stopped briefly in the Maldives while en route to Cape Town as she traces out this new course via 5 capes. She crossed the proposed new race finish line at Cape Agulhas – the second cape on the course - at 16:02:57 GMT, 13 days, 6 hours and 57 seconds after leaving the Maldives. She departs Cape Town for Freemantle next week (9 March). See the video gallery below to check out Majan crossing Cape Agulhas.
