Wed nite racing -26th November

Great sailing conditions, with a nice technical sea.. 18- 20 knots at the start.. with it becoming 15 or so during the race. Yolo was 4 up, so a bit light.. With all the big boats "bullying their way" on the start line, Yolo took a conservative approach.. and ended up sailing from the back.... followed by a good upwind beat.. which kept us in range and a nice downwind leg... if not a bit too square for our liking.
IN the end, we came in second in our class...
That being said.. we are very dissapointed that there were only 3 boats in our class.. and if one notes the overall results, only one boat has actually sailed all the races.. So for all intended purposes, a bit of a disappointment, the class numbers have dwindled . the top three are those that have raced the most races in the series...
Boat performed well... Aboard were: Dale, Ian, Sieger and Evan.
