WED Night Race 10 Feb 2010
We left the harbour latish.. We got a fairly good start, unfotunately a 50 footer who was below us, but faster slowly started to sail a bit higher then the next mark casuing us to sail higher and then th rest of the fleet forcing us to sail in dirty airs for a long period of time.. This was costly.. On the downwind we worked hard to hold our position as the boat behind us was faster then us.. We worked the puffs and swell. Goood gybe, kept focussed on the next mark working the boat. We did a great rounding at the next mark and sailed a good line.. If anything we might have overstood the finish mark ever so slightly.. We came 2nd overall which was not bad. The winds topped at about 23knots, boat went well. Aboard were: Dale, Ian, Dennis, Sieger, Michael and Sarel.
