Summer Series -11 MAy 2013

Last Race of the series. Nice breeze, SW 9-11knots. We started alone at the bridge hit on a Port start and promptly were able to clear the rest of the fleet who started on Starboard.. This start basically set it up for the rest of the race. It was a pleasant beat to a laid mark just past Granger Bay. Small shifts which we could take advantage of. Around the mark, we hoisted out light kite and worked our way downwind. Unfortunately we had one of the halyards on the inside of the forestay, but no big issue in the light breeze. Around the breakwater we hotted up.. At the Kling mark we gybed dropped kite and gybed around and made for numbr 4 which involved one tack to lay it.. then around, kite up and to the finish. We were fortunate with our start which allowed us to make some distance.. which took the pressure off for the rest of the race.. We came first in our class and first for the series in our class. Aboard were: Dale, Ian, Sieger with guest: Marc Block.
