“…Cape North 43 center cockpit cutter rig sloop, built by Cape Yachts of Hong Kong, an adaptation of noted

American naval architect Ted Brewer’s successful Black Velvet design.  She has a 3/4 keel with the ‘Brewer

these CN 43's did very well in a China Sea Race, from Hong Kong to Manila, beating the famous Windward

Passage on corrected time, while other CN 43's have proven their worth in local events in Asia, North

America and Britain. Indeed one of the boats finished 1st overall in an 80 boat fleet in the Swiftsure Race

out of Victoria, BC,…”
