Maverick 440 & Maverick 400 open the summer in Cape Town
This is the Maverick 440 Laminic hull #003 opening the summer in Cape Town, South Africa... enjoying some fun with the family. Watch till the end of the video and see the Maverick 400 Catarina hull #006 come into frame. Maverick 440 Laminic hull #003 celebrates its 10th-year anniversary recently after being launched in October 2009. Laminic was originally a Maverick 400 called Prost and first sailed to Namibia. It was then sold, renamed to Reham and sailed up the East coast of Africa to Abu Dhabi where it spent about seven years. It was then sold again, renamed Laminic by the 3rd owner who brought it back to Cape Town and enjoys it in local waters with his family. When it returned to Cape Town it was taken out the water and extended from a Maverick 400 to a Maverick 440 in the Maverick Boat Yard in Cape Town. This aerial photography is taken in Kraalbaai in Langebaan about 100 nautical miles up the West Coast from Cape Town in South Africa. Kraalbaai is in the middle of the West Coast National Park. This makes it a lovely place to drop anchor and spend a few nights as there are no people on land and the only way to access the park to sleep at night is by private yacht. Having a private yacht really gives you access to some wonderful and unique locations. The stars here are amazing at night. The protected bay has still shallow waters that also warm up to higher temperatures than the Atlantic Ocean. At the end of the video, you'll see the Maverick 400 Catarina come into the frame which has a taller mast on a double spreader.
