WED NITE RACE 1of series.

We got a legendary start with lots of speed in a good slot. With a light SW blowing with the occasional puffs the frist leg was a fetch to Landfall, we caught a short ride with the bigger boats and played the puffs well with us making good time to the first mark, the wind died on the downwind with us working and eeking what we could out of the boat on this leg we maintained our position and pulled time on some. The next leg was a beat. Towards the weather mark the weather died on us and headed allowing Majimoto to lift up higher and with their sail combo they had more power and therefore able to sail faster then us. We tacked for the mark and ducked behind Majimoto who had passed us at this stage. We sailed the rest of the leg in a dying shifting breeze. We came second overall. The sailing was excellent as the water was flat. Aboard were Ian, Dale, Siger, Stanley, Tony. Pic was taken by Kirsten Veestra.
