A good entry, some 48 boats. Medium pursuit races tend to get the bigger entries.
On the way out of the harbour we suspect that Yolo may have got a plastic bag around the prop.. which was to stay for the race...
Yolo started on time, with a few tacks just after the start to try and stay in the wind, as those that started behind had slightly more "solid" breeze... It was a slow sail to the first mark(Daeyang) eventually flying the Code O... We managed to pull through the fleet with only a few larger boats ahead of us at the mark.. thereafter a mundane fetch to Granger, with us using the Codey on the final stretch and then hoisting the kite just before the mark.. Gybing soon after with a nice Kite sail to the finish. It was a great day on the water...
Yolo managed to win her class..Aboard were: Dale, Ian, Sieger and Sarel.
Back in the harbour.. it was time to toast the season and to toast Yolo's entry in the Cape to Rio Race, earlier this year.... See pic...
