Double Handed Race -23rd June 2012

Last race of the series... Light breeze. We got what we thought was a good start, not realizing we could lay the first mark lower down the line.. that was our downfall.. as we got to the weather mark the wind shifted making us put two quick tacks in. We did very well on the fleet on the downwind pulling though all but the A35 who held us off. We needed to put in two speedy gybes with the kite up to avoid a ship.. the breeze freshened towards the end of the downwind giving us nice sailing for the rest of the race.. We came 2nd in this race and 1st place for the series. Aboard were Dale and Ian. Boat performed well.
