CROCS REGATTA 15/16/17 December 2012

Day 1:
Race 1:Light winds with the Bridge postponing as they were expecting a wind shift.. eventually the decided to hold a race. YOLO got a good start but made a few crew mistakes in the race. When the wind starting shifitng and dying YOLO was on the wrong side of it so lost out.
Race 2: Good start, in breeze gusting in the early thirties. Great downwind sailing. Again some crew hitches that cost us, but good to sail in that sort of breeze.
Day 2:
Race 3: Nice South Westers in the upper teens with gusts just over 20.. Good sailing with team YOLO sailing well.
Race 4: Another good race with team Yolo beginning to find her form, nice close racing with some of the other boats.
Race 5: With a dying breeze, Yolo opted to break from the fleet and was caught without any breeze, so another bad score.

The last days racing was cancelled due to strong winds.
YOLO came 4th overall..

Aboard were(a couple of crew changes during the regatta): Ian, Dale, Dennis, Phillipa, Sarel, LEroy, Kenwyn,Alexander, Sieger//



Boat performed well, no problems.
