A dedicated team of vessel owners, instructors, skippers and marine maintenance contractors pulled out the 42ft SV Mercury onto the Dry Dock slipway this week; the first vessel in our sailing training fleet for its annual hull survey. Regular hull and skin fittings maintenance, repainting and antifouling are all part of ensuring safety and performance of these beautiful yachts. Yachting training resumes in Knysna this Easter weekend with both Start Sailing and Competent Crew courses (044 3823600)
