Double Handed Race 14 March 2015

With Ian off to the UK on a business trip, Yolo was fortunate to get Clarence Hendricks who was on holiday in Cape Town(He lives and works in Dubai). Having done some sailing before with Clarence it was easy.. and things worked very well. The racing was good, but the winds were a bit fickle and during the course of one leg, the lead boat managed to pick a few puffs that the rest of the fleet did not get which gave them a separation to the fleet, they used this well and played a good race thereafter. The bay was flat, so the sailing was a pleasure, if not a bit light. On the last leg to the finish, Yolo was doing well and then picked up a piece of kelp on the keel which immediately affected performance.. with the kite up, it was decided not to backwater as it would cost more... In the end Yolo came second in her class. Aboard: Dale and Clarence.
