July, Angelo Lavranos: "Voortrekker II was modified many times in her career. From 1980 till 1986 she was used as a SA Navy training boat doing fully crewed IOR races aswell as shorthanded racing so we had no water ballast, which stopped her winning the 1984/5 Ostar."

From Sailing Anarchy (22 January 2017): "A 40 year old legend of a boat and commissioned Mark Wannenburg, a pro sailor and instructor to get her ready for the Cape2Rio. A two year labor of love for Mark who made the boat his home as he and others got her ready for the event."
