Although there has been no new news in terms of establishing the safety and whereabouts of missing yachtsmen, Reg Robertson, Anthony Murray and Jaryd Payne, the family of Murray said they are grateful for the support they have received online and from the media.
Murray, who grew up in Cowies Hill and is currently based in Cape Town, is the stepson of the late Dr Walter Savage, a well-known Westville and Pinetown GP who died in 2005.
Murray, Robertson and Payne were en route to deliver a catamaran to Thailand, but family members grew concerned when the boat did not arrive 10 days after its expected date of arrival, 2 February.
It is now a month overdue.
Description of the catamaran
The overall length: 42′ (feet) 7” (inches) / 13.18m
The waterline length: 41′ 8” / 12.2m
Width: 23′ 9” / 7.23m
