Double Handed Race SAT 13th April 2013

Nice flat seas, with around 8-10 knots on the water. Yolo started modestly but quickly settled down and started to work the boat. Arriving second place at the weather mark just behind Neccessity. A quick hoist of the kite and Yolo was off.. Neccessity did not hoist their kite, it still took us quite some time to pass. We rounded the leeward mark in third place with Neccessity not far behind and Nuthr Whitch a few boat lenths benind them.. The breeze was light on the beat with Neccessity sailing a bit faster and closed in on the gap.. but we still managed to round the weather mark first and hoisted the kite for the finish line.. we managed to hold it to the last, with Neccessity and Nuthr Witch getting caught in lighter conditions which basically gave us the overalls on corrected time. Aboard were: Dale and Ian. Boat performed well.
