Club Racing, Saturday 2nd June 2012

It was supposed to the IRC and Club racing racing as one giving both club rating and IRC results afterwards to allow the fleet not to be diluted. Anyway, light wind start, we were stuck above the line trying to sail downwind in the light stuff, so started about two minutes late.. quickly caught up as we sailed the catspaws... the conditions were split between the 12knots South Easter and a light NorthWester and the convergance zone.. We sailed well to weavethrough most of the lighter stuff and kept up with bigger boats, but the lower rating boats ruled supreme in that weather.. Towards the end once we were in good winds the Race Officer shortened the Club class, which meant we had to make a choice.., We opted to race with the bigger fleet and finished with club in line with previous races that we have already competed in for the series. Aboard were: Dale, Sieger, Dennis, Sandy, Walter and Leroy. Boat performed well.
