Missing Yacht

[Deleted member 478]

A friend of mine is one of the crew members that is one the Moquini, which is missing from the Mauritius to Durban yacht race. The South African Air Force has now given up the search because of a lack of funds for avaition fuel - see website for details. As fellow yachtsmen, if any of you can spare a few spare tenners, please donate via the race website (above). Much appreciated. Thanks.

I am involved in the co-ordination of the SAR and have learnt a lot. Will post here soon on how it was all organised

A search fund has been established to assist in the private endeavours of the local yachting fraternity to find MOQUINI (competing in the Indian Ocean Mauritius to Durban race). PLEASE ASSIST!
