Welcome back to Navel Gazing at Camp David.
This week we are heading back to Cape Town to have a look at the smallest offering from Robertson & Caine…
The Leopard 42!
Painted Wolf The Den Cabernet Sauvignon
In 2006, Emma and Jeremy Borg decided to create a wine company with two main aims - to raise money to build a more hopeful future for endangered African wild dogs and to allow Jeremy to pursue his ambitions as a winemaker, which he has done with great determination and flair.
Creating the company involved many wonderful collaborations with friends from all walks of life, and over the years, with the help of these exceptional people, Painted Wolf Wines has grown to become a leading producer of award-winning wines. We now have three distinctive and memorable ranges, are never afraid to try something a little bit off the beaten track and have raised around R3.5 million and a further considerable sum for social upliftment projects.
Jeremy says, "I like to work in harmony with each batch of grapes which we harvest. There are no recipes for wine making at Painted Wolf. Each vineyard and vintage provides us with grapes which are slightly different. The taste, feel, size, colour and sugar levels of each unique parcel of grapes drives my wine making decisions. I like to use the natural yeast found on the skins of grapes as this helps in defining a sense of place for the wines, and I use wood in a restrained manner to avoid dominating the fruit. Mostly I look for balance and vivacity in my wine."
The Den Cabernet Sauvignon is an easy-drinking style of Cabernet Sauvignon with classic flavours of blackcurrant and cigar box with some subtle yet toasty oak.
A crowd-pleasing medium to full-bodied wine with typical Cab flavours of red and black berries and cigar box augmented by toasty oak. The wine has a lovely rich mid-mouth texture, a long, fruit-driven finish with fresh acid and evident tannins which will soften with a little bottle age.
The den wines are social wines to be enjoyed with friends and family. These wines are named for the den, the heart of all African wild dog communities. Flavour-packed, soft and juicy comfort wines for good every- day drinking.

Rudder Wings:
Rudder winglets play a crucial role in improving the performance and handling of catamarans in various ways:
1. *Stability and Balance:* Rudder winglets provide additional lift to the catamaran's rudders. This added lift helps counteract the heeling forces that can occur, especially in strong winds or rough seas. By providing extra stability, winglets help keep the catamaran balanced, reducing the risk of capsizing.
2. *Upwind Performance:*
Lift Generation: Rudder winglets are designed to generate lift, similar to an airplane wing. When the catamaran is sailing upwind, the winglets create additional lift on the leeward side of the rudder. This lift force helps to counteract the heeling forces that occur when the boat is trying to sail into the wind. As a result, the catamaran can maintain a more upright position, reducing the risk of excessive heeling and allowing it to sail efficiently at higher angles to the wind.
Reduced Leeway: Rudder winglets can reduce leeway by providing lateral lift. As the catamaran sails closer to the wind, the winglets create a horizontal force that pushes the boat to windward, helping to minimize leeway. This enables the catamaran to maintain a more direct course upwind, ultimately leading to faster speeds and improved upwind performance.
3. *Reduced Drag:* Rudder winglets are designed to reduce drag.
Minimized Vortex Formation: Without winglets, the flow of water around the rudders can be turbulent, leading to the formation of vortices, which increase drag. Rudder winglets help to smooth the flow of water by directing it over their curved surfaces. This reduces the likelihood of vortex formation and associated drag, resulting in a more streamlined and efficient passage through the water.
4. *Prevention of Broaching:* Broaching is a dangerous situation where a catamaran loses control and is suddenly turned sideways by a large wave or strong wind gust. Rudder winglets provide additional lift, making it more challenging for the catamaran to be pushed off course. This helps prevent broaching, enhancing safety during challenging sailing conditions.
