My Moquini
In Loving Memory
Description:... In September 2005, the yacht Moquini went missing off the Southern tip of Madagascar during the Mauritius to Durban Ocean Yacht Race. Months of extensive searching proved futile and gradually the families of the six missing crewmen accepted that their loved ones would not be returning. Karen Tocknell (nee Hagemann), wife of well-known yachtsman, Neil Tocknell, was left with three young children and a future that looked bleak and overwhelming. Yet as the waves of sorrow crashed over them and the tides of change ripped apart their previously content and ordered lives, Karen and her children found eternal treasures in the depths of their despair and anguish. Captured by the media across the world, the story of the Moquini was depicted as a tragedy with a hopeless end. Yet for Karen and her young family, it has become a story of endless hope.
