READY, STEADY, GO! SW96 Liberty embarks on her 7500-mile Maiden Voyage from Cape Town to the Mediterreanean Sea. The owner, a European yachtsman on his second Southern Wind Yacht, expressed his satisfaction after his first sailing experience in Cape Town: "The final product has fully met my expectations of building a performing yet very stylish yacht. Being at the helm for the first time in the beautiful setting of Cape Town’s bay was fantastic, the culmination of a long process where all parties involved brought to the table their professional skills as well as their enthusiasm and passion for this kind of projects". Fair wind, Liberty!

So, as the next wave of finishers stream across the line off Les Sables d’Olonne, Matt Sheahan talks to 6 time circumnavigator and round the world record holder Dee Caffari about why this edition has been so special and what performances have stood out for her.
