Double Handed Race -Sat 16th November 2013

After a very storm evening, with flooding and wind carnage in and around Cape Town, a nice 7-8knots breeze from the SW filled intot he bay with a smooth seaway. Yolo got off to a conservative start.. with the light wind, the boats with the larger sail areas managed to pull away. Once around the first mark, Yolo still struggled in the light conditions but managed to hold her own.. With next leg, the wind got lighter and with a L34 sailing through Yolo's lee.. it was time to find wind. There seemed to be more wind on the Right hand side of the course.. so Yolo worked in that direction.. getting to the wind first.. Eventually being able to tack and lay LAndfall. At this stage it seemed that Yolo would catch up and pass some boats.. As the beat progressed the boats coming in on Port got lifted and Yolo got headed.. with Yolo behind them again. In the end, no gain on this leg for Yolo.. The race ended with Yolo having one of he "not so good results" coming 5th(last) in the race.. Aboard were Dale and Ian.
