![]() ![]() Today, however, it’s a downright gorgeous castle with 15 acres of gardens and opportunities to sleep in the room shared by King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn or sleep in the tower used by Catherine of Aragon, Queen of England from 1509 to 1533. And at least one plot to murder a traitor to King Richard III took place within the castle’s walls. It was a home for Henry VIII and wife Anne Boleyn (in happier days, one assumes) and was owned by several key players in the game-changing War of the Roses in the mid-1400s. It’s hard to downplay the significance of this castle, especially as its history dates to 1019. ![]() Families: If you’re a Thornbury, Tutor, deClare, Stafford, Howard, Boleyn, or Aragon, you’ve got some ancestral history here.YM is packed with information to help you get the most from your time on the water.

She admitted that she is now looking forward to it. She previously said she ‘would have avoided that coastline like the plague unless I intended to make landfall.’ In an earlier interview, Neuschafer, like several other skippers, had raised questions about the wisdom of the Cape Town gate, due to the weeks of 30-40 knot southeasters which can develop during October and November, and the strong currents off the continent shelf. Kirsten Neuschafer is pleased with the performance of her Cape George 36 cutter. I’ve spent the majority of nights up on the deck, helming and observing, and I have actually been really enjoying that,’ said Neuschafer, who prior to taking part in the Golden Globe Race, worked for Skip Novak aboard Pelagic Australis, sailing to South Georgia, The Antarctic Peninsula, Patagonia and the Falkland Islands. The light wind stuff, I always find that is where the sailing gets ever so cyclical with the sail trimming, but I’ve actually been enjoying it. I was hoping for trade winds that haven’t come through, but it has made the sailing more interesting. I didn’t expect the tropical depression, I didn’t expect all the light winds after that. #WHO OWNS THE BLACK LEGEND YACHT FULL#I wasn’t expecting a full depression and then also days of very light wind on top of the topical depression. ‘I had a bit of a disappointing start: I feel that I should have gone the offshore route with my boat, and then I would not have had to deal with all the windlessness. Unlike fellow skippers Tapio Lethtinen and Damien Guillou who sailed westwards at the start, beating into 25-39 knot headwinds, Neuschafer, like Curwen, sailed south towards the Galician coastline, where conditions were milder. It was difficult to concentrate on preparing for such a big trip while having a lot of the public and media interest, as well as attending events,’ she explained. Kirsten Neuschafer has valuable experience sailing the Agulhas current off South Africa, where she learnt to sail. ![]()
