WED Night Race
First race of the new year and first time that HP is sailing in our newly relegated class, now sailing in Class One.
We got away to a good start, as it is a fetch we struggled to keep clear wind as the larger boats slowly sailed over us. We sailed a good downwind overtaking two of the other Farr's and held our position on the next leg making ground on the bigger boats as they sailed "great circles", we sailed a good beat and called a good lay line. At the weather mark a boat in a different class stalled at the weather mark and then struggled to bear away causing us to loose some valuable time. We rounded the leeward mark just ahead of the Farr 40 which we overtook on the beat and held them off untill the finish. We came 1st on corrected time. On board were Ian, Dale, Sarel, Siger, Walter, Michael V, Matej.
