CROCS Cont...

Race:3

With the Sunday racing being cancelled due to very windy conditions.. 50 knots plus.. we had only the Wednesday for racing leaving no chance of a discard.. The morning race was started in a light SW.. We got a good start, being a slower boat the larger yachts quickly rolled us leaving us in their "dirties", it took a while to get upto full speed again.. After this we sailed but we struggled in the lulls.. In the end we ended 11th in this race making it one of our worst races of the year.. Between races we went and anchored in Grainger Bay.

Race 4:

The breeze had freshened at about 14knots or so.. We got a good start, sailed well and managed to hold the kite on a tight reach when some of the other yachts could not... In the end we won this race quite convincingly..

Overall we can 5th. It was nice to have the full racing crew aboard.. Also nice having the full 9 aboard..
