WED NITE RACE- 16th October 2013

Nice South Easter on the Bay. Winds were mostly in the upper teens. Flat Water.. Bit chilly. YOLO took the conservative start... and race for Paarden Island Mark, getting there as second boat.. On the downwind were challenged my the Farr 38 Freedom which kept trying to climb over Yolo..In the end, Yolo managed to have the inside at the Milnerton Rounding.. and did a good rounding. Freedom struggled to get set up quickly.. which allowed Yolo the additional distance. Thereafter Yolo and Freedom sailed in different breeze to the Harken mark. with Freedom in slightly lighter but lifted so they were able to point higher and make it in one go, with Yolo in a bit more breeze but more of a header which required two more tacks to make the mark. Once round it was off to Number 8 and then the finish. We held our own.. the only boat finishing ahead of our start was Scarlet Sun who was sailing the spinnaker class which they won.. Yolo won it's class on handicap. Aboard were: Dale, Ian, Sarel, Sieger, Tony and a new recruit for the boat..Jason.
