Racing Season had begun with Spring regatta taking place in Simonstown. We raced in IRC (IRC provincial championship)ass 1 devision which had us sailing against 40 footers with us having the slowest rating in the fleet. Quite a challenge.
Day 1: 3 races sailed in a good breeze with lots of oscilations in the breeze.
Day 2: 2 Races Sailed in breeze gusting in the early 30 knots.. boat performed well. A few boat decided not to race and some retired.
Day 3: A meduim distance race. We were able to read the wind conditions which allowed us to hang in with he bigger boats for most of the course. We won this race.
Overall we came 2nd. This was good especiually considering that this was our first proper regatta with the boat. Aboard were: Ian, Dennis, Sieger, Sarel, Phillipa, Hans(from Dubai) and Dale. Boat performed well.
