    THAT would be one god damn brutal sail. Both horns, Southern Atlantic crossing followed up by the Indian Ocean.

    The range of foulies you would need to bring would be 3/4 of your pack. Foulies underwear and A sock (you’re going to lose one anyways)

      I assume you mean “both capes.” While this line does come within a few thousand miles of the Horn of Africa, that’s not known as an especially hard sailing area but maybe for pirates.

      Sailing this line in the other direction would be considerably harder.

        Lolololol. Bro I’ve been around Africa in a 30 foot sailboat with an 8 foot draft. ‘Not hard sailing’ ? You have obviously never been on a boat at sea, let alone around either horns, capes, or whatever. Look up Shipbreakers, it’s a type of wave, then come tell me its not a hard sailing area.

        Lololol GTFO of here with that bullshit.

          Cmon man. Yes I’ve been a few places in sailboats. North sea in the winter for one. You clearly were trying to refer to Cape Horn and The Cape of Good Hope (or Cape Agulhas). Just take the L and don’t be a twat.
