Not much to speak of in the last 24 hours.. we have been
sailing in winds carying from 6 knots to 12 knots, right from behind in swelly
conditions.
Loosely this means that it is very difficuly to keep the
kite trimmed all the time.. and this means not such good speeds. We are still
trying to make Northwards in an attempt to stay in the better winds.. what this
means is that we now need to sail extra distance and our lead in our class
could come under threat as the rest of the fleet have more northing.. It would
seem that the prevailing conditions are covering most of our fleet at the
moment though.
So depends on if you are on Port or Stb gybe will tell which
would be faster..ie. Port gybe would be faster due to the swell action.
Otherwise all good abord YOLO, just disappointed that
these light winds are going to severely affect out ETA's.
Best..
