International Cruisers - Around the world in eight years

Dutch cruisers Wietze van der Laan and Janneke Kuysters have been sailing along the coast of South Africa since early November. Their yacht is a steel Bruce Roberts 44, a traditional heavy displacement, semi-long keeled cutter-rigged design. She was built in 1989 in New Zealand and named Anne Caroline van Staeten Landt – after the names of their mothers and the name that Abel Tasman gave to New Zealand.
