SAIL -Sat 19th July 2014

The policy has always been to try and sail Yolo every Saturday whether Races are convened or not.
This past Saturday was no exception. Albeit cold and overcast weather Yolo headed out. Winds were 10-12 knots with a moderate swell with good separations on the water.. making it not that bad to sail in. Yolo Headed down to Dolphin Beach Area, back to Woodstock Corner and back to the harbour. While aboard, discussion on what is required to be done aboard in preparation for the upcoming season and the racing program to come. Aboard were: Dale, Ian and Sieger.  Boat performed well.

Double Handed Race.. Race 1 of series. 12th July 2014

Yolo had not been sailed for approximately a month. It was good to be out on the water again. The start was postponed by 15 minutes.. following a start, which Yolo got a fair start, but the conditions were very light.. something Yolo does not enjoy.. making it a struggle throughout the race to keep the boat going. In the end,. we finished with a L34 a minute or so behind us.. Coming 4th in our class...
Aboard were: Dale and Ian. Boat performed well.
