SENIORS RACE 6th April 2013

Gordon Kling was the skipper.. There was a nice 14-17knot breeze with flat seas. It was a pursuit start and Yolo started well.. beating out of the start at full speed making sure her breeze was clear.. opting to duck behind some of the Starboard tackers and keep going fast all the while passing the slower boats quite quickly. She made good time to the weather mark rounded and poled out for the downwind. The rest of the fleet did not pole with some of them going a bit higher. Clean gybe at the wing mark and a race to the finish which had the wind just abaove the beam.. nice sailing but Yolo could not hold off some of the faster boats. Some fo the boats flew additional sails which were not in line with the sailing instructions but there were no protests on the water for this so was not dealth with. Yolo came 11th. Aboard were: Dale, Ian, Sieger and skipper Gordon. Boatg performed well.
