Wed Nite Race-27th Feb 2013

Nice Westerly blowing at the start.. Yolo managed to get a good start at the lee end of the line tacking away immediately and managed to lay the first mark and clear the yachts still on Starboard. Once Around number 4, it was a downwind sail to Milnerton in varying strenth conditions... On the downwind we had to dodge kelp catching some on the way.. Two boats managed to pass us on the downwind. On the upwind, en route to Number 8, again the kelp was a hazard with us catching some. the breeze was also up and down. In gthe end, we came third in our class. Aboard were: Dale, Ian, Sarel, Gordon and welcoming back to Sieger who has just recovered from surgery.
